Is there a clearinghouse for conventions? A friend and I were talking about what conventions were within 2-3 hours drive and we couldn't think of a site that has conventions listed with location or website info. For example, Gen Con in Indianapolis, Indiana with a web site of gencon.com that is easily driven to from Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, and of course Indiana. |

Shthar, that is a pretty impressive list. Now if we can get more organizers to post but I think I know why they don't. Thanks |

Some obvious omissions… HMGS Cold Wars HMGS Historicon HMGS Fall-in Just to name a few… Does anyone know who curates this site? or is it self-curated? TRU |

I believe the Tabletop Events site only lists those events that use the Tabletop Events interface for registration, game sign-ups, etc. It's a pretty great platform for convention organizers, like me and my club who use it for SCRUM CON. If you're curious to explore the interface, check out our Tabletop Events posting for SCRUM CON 2020: link

yes, you're only going to see shows on the tabletop site if the con uses that site to run admission and events. |
