We will enjoy a buffet of hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, and docent-led tours of the world’s foremost institution for the research, conservation, and exhibition of the one of humankind’s greatest technologies--computers.

Due to a last minute change in facilities planning, we are not able to provide needed accommodations to The Loose Canons, the live band that we had scheduled to play at the opening reception. We regret any disappointment this causes. -- SCA AGM Local Arrangements Committee, April 26 In January of 2011, the Computer History Museum, home to the world’s largest information technology collection, unveiled a 21st century makeover when it reopened its newly renovated building, with more than double the exhibition space, added research and education components, and a vast new digital platform. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley’s technology corridor, and making visible the relationship between computing history and contemporary innovations, the Computer History Museum is home to the world’s most comprehensive computing collection. |
