We are excited to bring back Virtualpalooza this July.  We've made some changes to our format, and have three full weekends of events planned.  Below are a few highlights from each weekend, along with a link to see details on all events being offered that weekend.  We are also offering a vendor Expo on the first two weekends.  Check out the full agenda to see when our Expo will be open, and come stop by the virtual booths of those in attendance.  We hope you will join us for one, two, or all three weekends of fun.  

All of the events are being offered to current members at no cost.  You will need to register for each weekend of events that you are planning to attend.  Some events do require a separate registration, due to attendance limits or needing more information for registration.  You will be prompted for additional registrations. If you are not a member of LPA, but would like to sign up for a trial membership in order to participate in Virtualpalooza, please sign up HERE.

RECORDINGS:  Many of our events will be recorded, although not all of them.  Check HERE after the weekend events have concluded to locate links for those events that were recorded.  You will need to login to the website to access the links.
