Exhibitors can already start setting up for February’s Sci-Fi Expo on Tangle Grid.

The month-long exposition, accessible to hypergrid visitors, officially opens on Tuesday, February 5 and runs through March 5. The hypergrid address isÂ tanglegrid.net:8002. (Learn how to hypergrid here.)

Visitors will be able to get freebie items, and also purchase content using the Gloebit currency. (Learn how to use Gloebits for hypergrid shopping here.)

This year, Tangle is adding a competition, where visitors can vote for their favorite displays,Â grid owner Leslie Kling toldÂ Hypergrid Business.

There’s also a large display outside the complex where visitors can take a ride on a shuttle craft to the grid’s Borg spaceship, Startrek Ship.

Tangle Grid has been running hypergrid expos for six years, said Kling.

How to set up your display

New exhibitors can just teleport in, grab an open spot, and create their displays, she added.

As with previous expos, presenters are discouraged from explicitly promoting competing grids. However, they can set up gates to the flagship stores wherever they might be on the hypergrid or hand out landmarks to visitors. In addition, they can sell content right at the Expo itself. The region supports the multi-grid Gloebit currency.

â€œThe idea behind these Expos is to help creators show off what they are doing around the OpenSimÂ grids,â€ said Kling.Â “The idea behind it was to get everyone involved at one location to show off their itemsÂ to the rest of the metaverse. It doesn’t matter what grid you belong to as long as the items you are displaying stays within the theme of theÂ expo that is going on at that time.”
