Protocon 2.0 will occur in early to mid-November (date to be determined).

It is a way off, but it is time to officially announce Proto-Con 2.0. Though the exact date and location of Proto-Con 2.0 has yet to be determined, it will most likely occur in October and be held in Maryland. So what do you need to do right now?
