Mission

Make the world a better place through video games.

There are many different and totally valid ways to accomplish this mission; we primarily work to preserve and celebrate video game music, history, art, and culture though our events. The core values define the specific and weird ways that MAGFest, Inc. accomplishes this mission. Other organizations may do things differently and create the same end result, and that is okay! The core values are guiding principles for our own organization, and they represent a deliberate prioritization of one valid course of action over another equally valid course of action.

Core Values

Sincerity

• Our events authentically showcase our passions.
• We want to attract people who share our interests.
• Enthusiasm takes precedence over mass appeal.

Support

• Demonstrate a genuine desire for the success of everyone around you.
• Actively contribute to the growth you’d like to see in your peers and the organization.
• Exercise candor as a form of respect with empathy.
• Be upfront, be real and authentic with yourself and with others.

Participation

• Own your experience: create what you want to see at the event.
• If you’ve got a great idea, we’ll give you the support needed to make it happen.
• Break down barriers between attendees, staff, and guests, allowing everyone to participate in their own way.

Experimentation

• Failure is a necessary step in growth and development.
