Abstract	In 2007, Mary Herring, AECT (Association for Educational Communications and Technology) President-Elect, assembled a task force to focus on issues and opportunities presented by virtual environments in the context of global leadership in professional development, research, scholarship, and practice, and the opportunity for social interaction and association expansion of membership through Second Life[TM]. SL provides a collaborative, immersive, and open-ended experience where people create and inhabit a virtual world of their own design. This article highlights the production techniques and presentations that combined real-world events with in-world presence at the AECT 2008 Convention. (Contains 2 figures.) (ERIC).
