Just to clarify a few things:
The web site seems to be a bit messed up. The event is Saturday
only in Purdue's Stewart Center building (exhibits in room 218
and the speakers in room 202). The talks begin at 11am West
Lafayette time, which is 10am for those of us in the Chicago
area.
I've known George and Mike for a number of years and their talk
should be well worth seeing/hearing.

We now have a second speaker, so the event will start at 11am with George
Goble speaking about the history of computing at Purdue's Engineering
schools, followed by Jack Rubin at 12pm. Both talks will be in Purdue's
Stewart Center, room 202, followed by exhibits opening at 1pm in room 218.
etc. are
available from the website at:

Note that the times listed there are wrong; the event will start at
12pm with Jack's talk, and the exhibits and marketplace will be open
from 1pm until 6pm.
Just to add -- it will be held in Purdue's Stewart Center building,
exhibits in room 218, and the speaker will be in room 202. Just follow
the signs once you get to the building.
