complete with
exhibits, speakers, educational and entertainment
experiments, art shows and avatar
awards, and a debut of new technologies never seen before on the
net. At the same time, there will be dozens of physical
locations around the planet where people will gather and jack
in to this new reality. It all happens on

Digi's Welcome In 1996 we celebrated the birth of a new medium with the first conference
on inhabited virtual worlds, Earth
to Avatars. Last year we met again in San Francisco for Avatars
97. This year we are ready to go the next big step and hold our
third annual gathering inside Cyberspace.
Why are we doing this? Well, holding Avatars 98 in-world
means that you and thousands of others like you can be a part of it.
We will also test drive the medium and
measure its readiness for a truly global happening in human contact.
You can also catch the buzz of face- Join the Contact Consortium, its
