SLA president Stephen Abram and SLA CEO Janice Lachance led the cast of characters from The Wizard of Oz along a prefab yellow brick road for the start of SLA 2008 in the Emerald City (aka Seattle).

Ask questions first, then tailor your talk to your audience. 3. Discover the importance of conversation. 4. Build bridges to the future by preserving data. 5. Figure out how to design a better product. 6. Second Life has plenty of redeeming qualities.
