1PM at the Troy Marriott. Quoth Randy:

1pm for the individual conversations that make-up our pre-meeting, 
2pm for the all-hands meeting.  Walkthrough to follow, but may be 
limited in number.

If you are ConCom you should be there.

If you are staff, you should check with the ConCom person that's 
heading your department to see if you should a) be there, b) send 
some updates via said head of department or c) wait for reinforcements.  

Or just come to the meeting, of course.

If you want to be part of Penguicon and would like to get involved,
please feel free to email me or come to the meeting and find out how you
can help make Penguicon ever more awesome.
