OpenSim let's you get your feet wet and can even be run 100% free with no worries about even installing any applications (simonastick.com) it may not be CityOne, but it will be yours and allow your imagination to expand into many possibilities good luck and have a great conference! =) first, congrats on your nomination over at the Virtual Worlds group =)

That relies heavily on the furniture manufacturers that specialize in custom manufacturing and hotel furniture to achieve this.

Much has changed in this last year especially for Second Life and OpenSim. Last year it was more about people in Second Life seeking alternatives and then being forced to at the end of the year with the loss of the educational/not-for-profit discount. This year, albeit very early on, is seeing more OpenSim growth not as much from former Second Life users, but from people and institutions new to virtual worlds. In my opinion, the greater stability of OpenSim from the September updates to simply more news in the blogosphere about endeavors starting in OpenSim have attracted those that never set up shop in Second Life but perhaps were interested in it. Time will tell, but the successes so far and the work of the OpenSim developers is certainly providing an alternative that truly has become as good, if not better, in key areas over Second Life. Your conference looks great (as always) and I am certain it will be a wonderful insight into current practices as well as inspire even more innovation! Fantastic lineup so far!
