THINGS TO KNOW:
Changes, Changes
Life Is Constant Change
We have two major changes for Archon 32 compared to past Archons. This year you will find 96% of our panels & presentations located in Gateway Center. The other change you will notice is most of our panel & presentation events do not start at the top of the hour. This year all Program Events have 60 minutes followed by a 10 minute break before the next scheduled event. So our schedule walks 10 minutes every hour. 10am, 11:10am, 12:20, etc.
