We've seen the launches of a jewelry line from Dior and a cruise ship launch as some of the corporate uses of Second Life. Now the InterContinental Hotel Group has taken on the task of adapting Second Life as a virtual meeting place. They have created Crowne Plaza's The Place to Meet Island. The Place to Meet Island has three meeting spaces that reflect the Crowne Plaza brand and that are equipped with streaming audio, video, presentation and image viewing capabilities. There is an executive room that is a small formal gathering room for 12, a lounge room for 20 that includes a bar area and a theatre room that can hold up to 30 audience members.

The Place to Meet Island also has an in-world meeting director, Maggie, to assist with reservation needs and island tours. Use of meeting facilities will be free of charge and may be rented for up to eight hours. After the jump, a tour of the island.

Nice to hear about this! I work for Linden Lab and I'm a new Luxist fan, so it's a thrill when my passions combine! I've got to check out Crowne Plaza inworld soon.
