Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 06:17PM Ric Van Dyke will be placing a special order this week for anyone that would like a commemorative Expo hat. The cost will be $30 and Ric will order them in size LARGE which should work fine for everyone. To place your order, please contact Ric directly @ricvandyke@yahoo.com. Orders must be received by Saturday, April 14.
Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 12:19PM We are ahead of schedule based on our current Attendee count from previous years. With nearly three months still to go, we should easily eclipse the 200+ Attendee mark and our past attendance figures. We now have 28 first-time attendees registered as well, which we are very excited about!
This weekend we will be adding Special Events so you can learn more about the initial seminars and tournaments that we have planned. In other news, we found out another gaming venue (sci-fi/fantasy) is taking place at the hotel the weekend prior to our event, so we will most likely not be able to set-up until Monday morning per our official schedule. We were hoping to grab an early start this year, but it looks like another gaming group has the hotel.
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 08:45PM We are on track to break records at CSW Expo 2012. Our registrations are nearly 120 already, and the best news of all is we already have 21 (!!!) first-time attendees joining us. We are excited to welcome so many newcomers to our 12th Anniversary Event, and we hope to welcome many more!
Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at 01:57PM "There must be something in the water." We're off to our fastest start in sign-up activity ever, far outpacing sign-ups from last year. We've just updated our Game Sign-ups and Attendee Page. One of the key indicators — in the first month of registration, we have 17 first-time attendees already registered to attend, which is nearly 20% of all who have registered thus far! This is very exciting news and we can expect an incredible turnout this year as we come together to celebrate the hobby.

We are pleased to announce that Marco Arnaudo will be one of our Special Guests at CSW Expo 2012.
As many of you may already be aware, Marco has set the hobby on fire with his outstanding and always-entertaining game review videos. Marco has made an important contribution to help support and evangelize our hobby, so we look forward to celebrating him and his many outstanding contributions amongst our gaming community at the Expo.
