During the Second Life birthday celebrations over the last few years, there have been sessions referred to as Meet the Lindens. Held daily, these provided opportunities for people to hear from and put questions to Linden Lab personnel, generally with questions submitted beforehand.
For 2024, these sessions will be replaced by series of special Town Hall sessions, and the second of their new Community Round Table events, featuring members of the Lab’ senior management team. On Tuesday, June 19th, the Lab provided details of these events, together with information on the SL21B live music events and performances, and I’m combining the information here for ease of reference.

Theme
This theme for Second Life’s 21st birthday (SL21B) has been given as Elements, which the Lab describes thus:
This theme invites us to explore the fundamental components that make up our vast virtual landscape and the diverse communities within it. From the fiery passion of creators and artists to the fluid adaptability of our social environments, from the solid bonds within our communities to the fresh breezes of innovation that propel us forward, “Elements” is a celebration of the core forces that shape our experiences in Second Life.
