We’re back this year at the 2025 Game Developers Conference! Here’s a preview of everywhere you can find us this week…
The Game History Gallery returns
We’re back running our Game History Gallery booth! This year, we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Nintendo Entertainment System with our exhibit Lost Levels: Unreleased Games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The interactive exhibit tells stories from around the world about games that never saw the light of day—and the challenge of preserving that history.
We’ll also be showcasing the VGHF Library at our booth! We’re excited to show the game industry what a state-of-the-art digital archive looks like.
You can find us between the Moscone North and South halls at booth C1537.
The latest on game history
We’re also participating in two talks over the week!
On Wednesday, March 19 at 3pm, our founder Frank Cifaldi will be presenting Preserving Game History: It’s Just Us, a sort of state-of-the-field keynote about his 25 years of experience in the world of game history and what it actually takes to preserve our past, present, and future.
Library director Phil Salvador will also be presenting on Friday, March 21 at 3pm on the panel What’s New in Game History: 2025. He’ll be talking with other video game historians and archivists sharing the latest news from the field. Phil will be talking about what the gaming community and citizen historians have been up to.
