Meet the Lindens at SL23B: who and when

via Linden Lab

June 2026 will mark the 23rd anniversary of Second Life opening to public access – and as we’ve all come to expect, the month will mark the start of several weeks of events and celebrations running into July under the umbrella of the Second Life Birthday (SLB) otherwise know for this year as SL23B.

One of the most popular series of events at SLB are the daily Meet the Lindens sessions, and SL 23B will be no exception. During the course of the first full week of the celebrations, residents will have the chance to listen to members of various individuals and teams at Linden Lab as they provide updates and take questions.

The session will run from Monday, June 22nd through Friday, June 26th, each one commencing at 13:00 SLT at the Orpheum Theatre, with the schedule lining up as follows.

Day (from 13:00 SLT) Participants
Monday June 22  Philip Rosedale – Founder and CTO
Tuesday June 23 The Product Team
Wednesday June 24 The Engineering Team
Thursday June 25 The Marketing and Growth Team
Friday June 26 The Second Life Studios Team

If you wish to submit questions to the teams ahead of the even, there is still time to do so via the Meet the Lindens question form. Note that questions must be submitted before June 21st, 2026.
