Host a Game

Gaming Schedule
Check the CONvergence schedule or come to the Gaming Front Desk in the Great Lakes Foyer to see the list of scheduled games! It’s not uncommon for gaming events to be added or moved in the days before the convention, so it is a good idea to keep an eye on the schedule to stay up-to-date with CONvergence gaming.
Please note: adding a gaming event to your CONvergence schedule not constitute a sign-up for that gaming event. Come to the Gaming Front Desk in the Great Lakes Foyer in-person to sign up for gaming events! All events are first-come, first-serve.
