Gaming is proud to announce that we have a number of new gaming opportunities for 2026. Join us for these exciting new opportunities:

Host a Game
CONvergence Gaming is always looking for enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers to host gaming events! Please see our Host a Game page for more information!
Gaming Schedule
The final schedule can be found on the CONvergence schedule website and Sched app. We may add additional events or move them so check the whiteboards at the Gaming Front Desk for the most up-to-date list!
Sign-up Process:
New this year — The game sign-ups for each day will be put out the previous day at 4:00 pm. This should help reduce the congestion at the Gaming Front Desk and make signing up more equitable for all of our attendees.
Note: Signing up for an event on the Sched.org page or app does not constitute an actual sign-up. To register, you’ll need to come and sign up in person at the Gaming Front Desk.
Gaming Front Desk
Located in the 4th floor Great Lakes Promenade area of the Hyatt Regency, this is where you sign up to join an existing game, reserve a table, record Gaming volunteer hours, have your questions answered, or to inquire about hosting a game of your own. Watch the white boards located here for Gaming announcements and to look for other players for a game you’d like to play.
Hours are subject to change depending on volunteer availability.
- Thursday 9:00am – 10:00pm
- Friday 9:00am – 10:00pm
- Saturday 9:00am – 10:00pm
- Sunday 9:00am – 3:00pm
