I’m looking forward to returning to Zenkaikon this year (March 18-20 at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia, PA). Its last incarnation was cramped but chuck full o’ goodness. This time around, I’m told accommodations are more spacious, and the schedule looks to be rather impressive to boot. After the break, you’ll find the hourly breakdown of events I plan on attending. If anything is doubled or overlaps, I still haven’t quite made up my mind. And as a reminder: if you see a pile of walking chess pieces pass by, say hi!
