2009 Early Television Convention

The 2009 Early Television Convention will be held on Friday, May 1, Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3 at the Early Television Museum in Hilliard, Ohio. The buffet lunch, presentations, and banquet will be at the Makoy Center, a conference facility about 2 blocks from the museum.

We plan to have another live and silent auction, with remaining items from Dave Johnson's collection and some surplus sets from the Museum's collection. If you have any items for the auction, please contact us.

We are now accepting proposals for presentations. This year we will have a timer for presenters to make sure we keep on schedule. If you'd like to make a presentation, please let us know as soon as possible.

This year we will again have live video coverage of the event on the internet.

Events in gray will be at the museum. Those in green will be at the Makoy Center
