Set your phasers to stun. Be prepared to go where no man has boldly gone before, well with the exception or the organisers, the builders, The Lindens and maybe some others. However besides them, the big news is that the 2015 Science Fiction Convention in Second Life opens tomorrow.
The event is part of the Relay For Life fundraising in Second Life effort on behalf of The American Cancer Society and as with many events there will be vendors, events and much more.
The event will be running February 20th Thru March 1st and features six sims :

A good place to keep up to date with events is on the Sci-Fi Alliance website.
There will also be a scavenger hunt by the name of Star Hunter, in which you will be looking for stars.
There are a number of exhibitors at the convention far too many for me to list, but you can view them on the exhibitors page.
The convention will be open to the public at 12 noon tomorrow. Alas I haven’t got a SLURL to provide you with yet, it may involve some intergalactic planetary mischief but I get a hold of one but keep your eyes peeled, there will be more announcements and information in the very near future!
