SJG Staff-Attended Conventions
These are the conventions we're currently planning to attend. For a listing of ALL the game conventions we've been told about, click here.
We are more than happy to help you promote your convention. If you'd like to add your con to our list, use our handy convention registry form.
We can also provide support (i.e. free stuff) to GMs who run SJ Games events at conventions - just ask us!. And we can sometimes provide other types of convention support . . . send mail to conventions@sjgames.com and let us know how we can help.
You can download these posters to publicize your games and help you find new players at conventions (or stores, or schools)!
We also need volunteers to help us with the SJ Games booth at certain conventions.

 May 30-June 1: DieCon 8 - Collinsville, IL
Location: Gateway Center, # 1 Gateway Drive (St Louis, MO Metro Area)
DieCon is an annual, St. Louis-area, gaming convention held in the late spring/early summer at Gateway Center in Collinsville, IL (just minutes from downtown St. Louis, MO). Not gaming in the gambling, blow-your-life-savings sense; but gaming in the have-fun-without-paying-too-much sense. We're talking actual, interactive game-playing here! Board Games, RolePlaying Games (RPGs), Collectable Card Games (CCGs) and Miniatures Games. With over 120 different games being played during the three days of our convention, you're sure to find something you like. Or come to learn something new -- you might just find a game you've never played before but really, really enjoy!

Aug. 14-17: GenCon Indy - Indianapolis, IN
Location: Indiana Convention Center, 100 South Capitol Ave., Indianapolis, Indiana 46225
Gen Con Indy is the original, longest running, best attended, gaming convention in the world. For nearly 40 years, Gen Con Indy has been setting the trend and breaking records. The biggest complaint we hear is that there is simply too much to do, see, and experience. Get lost in a phantasm of art exhibits. Stare at jaw-dropping costumes, or better yet, wear one of your own. Meet the movers and the shakers in the gaming industry. Check out the newest games and get a sneak peek at the latest editions.
