*Day / Time / Location: *Thursday 11:30-12:30 Room 308, South Hall
*Track / Duration / Format / Audience Level: *Advocacy / 60-Minute / Panel

*Description: *Every day, we lose more of the games, the experience, the 
data and the knowledge upon which the industry was built. What is being 
done to archive, understand, curate and catalog this culture? 
Approaching the problem from four different angles, this panel explores 
the importance of preserving games as an art form, recording the game 
design and development process, curating and preserving games in a 
museum or gallery setting, and capturing the experience of present, past 
and dying digital worlds.
*Takeaway: *The preservation of our work as an industry will be 
emphasized as critically important, and attendees will understand what 
they can do to help maintain our ongoing legacy.
