Conventions

Love games? Conventions are a great place to learn and develop your gaming skills. Join The Chess & Strategy Game Association at a gaming convention!

Why Attend a Gaming Convention?

Conventions are one of the best ways to meet new people who are passionate about gaming! Learn about new games, play your favorites, and sometimes even talk to the developers who made them! Feel free to check any of these events; kids and adult kids of all ages are encouraged to join!
