The 2024 (and 16th) Second Life Sci-Fi Con is currently in progress across eight regions (+ the landing point region and teleport hub). It will run through until June 4th, 2024, raising money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation in association Team Fox, the fund-raising branch of the Foundation, and Creations for Parkinson’s in Second Life, and with the support of Linden Lab.
This year Sci-Fi Con proudly presents “Sci-Fi Con 16: Altered State.” Our mission is clear: to unite individuals from diverse backgrounds for the betterment of our shared world. Our vision extends beyond the virtual boundaries, aiming to make a significant impact in the lives of those affected by Parkinson’s disease. To achieve this, we are committed to giving 100% of the proceeds directly towards the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Together, we stand united, making a real difference in the pursuit of a better future.

As is usual for the event, many of the sci-fi franchises popular in Second Life are present at the Con, with shopping spread throughout the regions, together with entertainment and other events. The best way to find out about the latter is via the Con’s event page (all times SLT) – although whether it was my browser or an issue in general, I found clicking URLs opened Google Maps rather than the SL Map, so hopefully it will work for you.
All of the regions can be reached via the teleport boards at the main hub and within each of the regions. It is also possible to walk between them and over the water to / from the hub. I believe a monorail system is available, but during my visits, I didn’t actually see it operating, so not sure.
This year’s convention includes the Scavenger Hunt – HUDs available at the Hub. So, prepare your away team / landing party, set phasers on fun and head over to the Sci-Fi Convention.
