Later today, I’m off to TAGIE (the Toy and Game Inventor Expo) held down at Navy Pier in Chicago. Assuming rush-hour traffic doesn’t devour me alive, I should be on my first panel at 11 AM on “Design and Development,” moderated by the ever-excellent Mike Gray.

Tomorrow, I have two panels. The first, “Online and Interactive,” starts at 10 AM, and the second, “Meet the Inventors,” is at 2 PM. That night, I’ll be at the TAGIE Awards ceremony at the Adler Planetarium.

On Saturday, I’m part of the “Ask an Expert” sessions. I hope to find some time to wander around ChiTAG (the Chicago Toy and Game Fair) too before I head home. That part of the weekend is open to the public at very reasonable rates ($5 for kids and $10 for adults), so if you’re in the area, stop by and check out it. And if you see me, be sure to say hi!
