See what we offered in 2024!
Seminar Schedule - Wednesday June 19, 2024
Registration open 10am to 6pm
Media First Look/Game Night - 6pm to 8pm
Tournament of Pieces (Back of Hall B)
We are mixing up the program this year with a combined Media First Look event and Game Night in the back of Hall B. The program will feature 40+ tables of publishers showing off their latest products along with some refreshments for attendees. As this event is being held in the exhibit hall, you must enter through the doors in the back of Hall C near the Open Gaming/Library.
To enter you must have a badge along with a GAMA member ribbon, which are available at the Member Registration Booth on the Second Floor of A-Pod, or a media badge. There will be no exceptions as the hall is still being set up for the show and we need to regulate access to this part of the convention center.
