Registrations Set a Record Pace!

My thanks to everyone for help us set a new record in terms of number of Expo registrations for the month of January. Our previous benchmark was achieving 93 sign-ups last January. That was our previous high record.

We now have a new record. We received 105 (!!) registrations this January, lapping our previous record by 12 additional sign-ups. Not shabby at all!

I invite you to check our Attendee and Game Sign-ups page to see how the initial game sign-ups are shaping up. It's great to also see some of our regulars returning who couldn't make it last year due to scheduling issues. We also have quite a few newcomers signed-up as well. We are obviously on a record page for 2013 Attendance. Thank you all again for your support!

Initial Game Sign-ups

We've now posted the initial Game Sign-ups page. Of course, many more sign-ups are to come soon. Shortly, we will be updating our Special Events page as well which includes numerous tournaments.

Early Registrations

We've just launched our Attendees Page so you can get a quick snapshot of who has registered early thus far for CSW Expo 2013. We are working on the all-important Game Sign-ups page now and it will be up shortly! And a reminder for all, those who register for the Full Expo event and get payment in by end of January will automatically qualify for their free Expo shirt!

Online Hotel Booking Code

We've just updated our Event Site Page with the online booking code. In fact, you can just go here to place your online room reservation.

Previous Expo Game Sign-ups

We've gone ahead and provided links to the official Game Sign-up sheet from Expo 2012 and Expo 2011 so you can reference what games were played the past two years. You will find this on our Game Sign-ups page. We will be posting the initial registrations and game sign-ups this weekend! Also, we expect to have the online group discount code to place hotel reservations tomorrow (Friday).

Enhancements for Expo 2013

I'd like to share with you all what we plan to focus on in terms of changes or enhancements for CSW Expo 2013. The list here is based on my critique as well as attendee feedback. I think this will translate to a very positive and even better Expo experience!

Ready, Set, GO!

We're pleased to announce that online registration is now available for Expo 2013!

Please note that the special events schedule as well as the Attendee and Game Sign-up Roster will not be posted for a few days as we process initial registrations. Also, please don't forget that if you take advantage of our early-bird registration offer and you officially register and submit payment no later than January 31, 2013, you automatically qualify for a FREE Expo t-shirt.

We expect to receive the online group reservation code for the hotel site next week and will be sure to provide this updated information once it becomes available.

We look forward to another terrific Expo 2013 event! We hope you will join us!

Gearing up for 2013!

Just a reminder that we are gearing up for our 13th year! Online registration will begin sometime shortly after the New Year. As always, the first to register online will automatically win a door prize and all who register for the Full Expo Pass during the month of January will get their expo t-shirt for FREE. We wish you all a Happy New Year and look forward to launching online registration shortly after 2013 commences. Until then...enjoy the holidays!

Thanks to All for a Great Expo 2012!!

That's a wrap, folks! I want to thank you all for a fantastic CSW Expo 2012. We just completed our event yesterday and I must say it was great to meet so many new participants and I hope you all had a memorable gaming experience.

CSW Expo 2013 is scheduled for May 27-June 2, 2013, and we hope you will save this date to join us again! Online registration will open Jan 2013. Until them, we'll keep up the list of attendees and game sign-ups here from this year's event so you can revisit who attended and what games were played.

Thanks again for a tremendous event!

Finalizing Game Selections

We've just updated our Game Sign-ups page and added color coding to help participants finalize their gaming selections. For monster game selections, any game with a green background has sufficient sign-ups to have earned a reserved spot in the Ballroom. For open-gaming titles, a blue background is listed for any game having at least two sign-ups, to help folks start pre-event coordination on the pick-up games they are looking to play (Tip: you can contact nearly any participant by finding their email address on our Attendees Page). We will be sending out an email notification shortly as a gentle reminder for folks to start finalizing their game selections. If your monster game has not yet made the cut, don't panic yet as folks will be encouraged to try and pick a game that is still needing sign-ups in order to be played (or one can simply join a monster game that has already earned a reserved spot).

Also, for those just worried about playing any game period, keep in mind we have drop-in tournament play formats for both Down in Flames as well as The Hunters. We also have numerous publishers and designers on hand who are looking to find participants when the festivities commence as well -- so we have you well covered. We will also make PA announcements and provide a white board to help drive game play as well.
