Announcing GameFest! 

 

I'm very excited to reveal the details of GameFest - a three day event to celebrate the opening of The Art of Video Games exhibition!

We're giving YOU, the folks on our email list, the exclusive opportunity to register for Nolan Bushnell's keynote presentation on Friday, March 16, 2012. This event is free, but you must register in advance. Visit our website to register. And don't worry if you miss out, the talk will be webcast live online.

All other GameFest programs and events are free and open to the public, on a first-come, first-served basis. I look forward to seeing you in March!

Exhibition Coordinator

P.S. Don't forget that you can still add your name to the exhibition credits and help support programs like this by donating $10 or more. The credits will be projected at the entrance and exit of the exhibition (in a very snazzy way). Check out our website for more info.
