Events and Initiatives

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥

We're always offering a cool selection of events on as well as webinars for librarians interested in gaming - see our blog for updates!

International Games Month in November is an annual initiative of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ to reconnect communities through their libraries around the educational, recreational, and social value of all types of games. It’s a great opportunity for families to get out of the house and play together in the one community institution that welcomes everyone.

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Play

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Play is the premier outlet for gaming at the annual °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ conventions! Hundreds of library professionals gather and game one evening, sponsored by a number of wonderful game developers, and there's even an "Unpub" table to highlight some of the spectacular unpublished games out there!

Gaming Lounge

GameRT sponsors each year an awesome Gaming Lounge at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ on the exhibit hall floor - come by, meet us, get your game on, and see what awesome new games the publishers have on offer this year!
