Thanks to everyone who came out to join us in Columbus for Origins 2018, and to all of our excellent volunteers for making the event a success! As usual, we’ve assembled our session records and wanted to share them with you.
If you’d like to give us your feedback about your experience with Games on Demand, we invite you to fill out our feedback survey!
If you had a good time at the show and want to support Games on Demand in the future, we encourage you to join us as a volunteer at an upcoming show or consider throwing us a donation for supplies!
If you’re interested in staying on top of upcoming events, please join our mailing list.
We will be seeking interested game facilitators for Origins 2019 already in August, because hotel rooms go live already in September.
If you’d like to sign up to volunteer for Gen Con Games on Demand, we are still taking submissions!
