They're not associated with the Video Game History Museum, which is odd considering the two organizations are based just a few miles apart.  PAX also runs a Classic Console Freeplay area.

We will do lunch and an hour+ brainstorming session to discuss avenues for collaboration and universal best practices development for Museums, Libraries, Archives and private collectors.

We hope to have an alpha doctrine published within 6 months with a new revision published every subsequent 6 months.

I have about 10 people from various disciplines confirmed attending and the reservation is for 20 people.  More than 20 are welcome though!  I'm sure they can fit us in.  The place is HUGE.
