Course Description
"Game conventions and conferences" is for
typical hobby game players and for game designers. Conventions (where
people play games, mostly tabletop games) and conferences (where people
talk about creating video games) are common and attendance is growing.
They vary in size from dozens of attendess to more than 50,000. There's
probably one or more within a hundred miles of you.
In this
course I talk about what people do at cons and how you can save money
when attending, and I describe several specific cons in the southeastern
and midwestern USA: GenCon, WBC, Origins, East Coast Game Conference,
and PrezCon.
There are no requirements or prerequisites for the course.
This course is likely to slowly grow over time.
