Gaming

Join your fellow gamers in the Gaming Suites on the 4th floor of the Hyatt Regency! This is a great opportunity to roll some dice, shoot virtual critters, draw maps, flip cards, and meet some new friends while at CONvergence.

CONvergence 2024 Information Coming Soon!

Below is information from CONvergence 2023 for your reference.


Gaming Schedule

Check the CONvergence schedule or come to the Gaming Front Desk in the Boundary Waters 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 Boundary Waters Foyer in-person to sign up for gaming events!

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.
