Overview

MAGFest, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to make the world a better place through video games. We achieve this through numerous events, such as Super MAGFest, MAGWest, MAGStock, and Bit Gen Gamer Fest. Other primary goals of MAGFest include educating the public about video game music, art, and history; promoting public appreciation of video game music, art, and history; and preserving for posterity the culture and history of video games.

The Board of Directors (BoD) is the governing body of the organization, providing oversight for its vision, mission, and strategic operations; ensuring the company stays in good financial and legal standing; and supporting and strengthening its volunteer community and culture. The Board is responsible for making decisions, delegating work, and assuring decisions are carried out in the manner intended. Ultimately, BoD members serve as ambassadors for MAGFest’s mission, both inside and outside of their organizational roles.
