ConnCon, is a RPG and boardgame convention held in Stamford CT, March 18-20, 2011.
Their website ConnCon.com is now on line with current information, however pre-registration is not yet open. Weekend and daily badges will be available. The as yet unconfirmed price for a three day badge is $45.
We have received the following schedule from Mark Casiglio
The board game section at ConnCon features tons of open gaming ... tables galore as well as access to our game library, although many guests choose to bring their favorites from home as well.
But in addition to all that open gaming, we also feature a number of Scheduled Games ... the benefit being that you know exactly when the game will start, and there will be a ConnCon volunteer present who can teach the game!
We do a expect a few late addition from the Steve Jackson people ... but here is our board game schedule at the moment!

At ConnCon we also promote board gaming as a family event ... to that end we're also featuring a Teen's (and Tweens) zone for older gamer kids. We'll also have three scheduled games in this area, all on Saturday.
Pyramid (slot 4)
Nuns on the Run (slot 5)
Bisikle (slot 6)
Beyond Candyland also runs from 1-4 on Saturday afternoon in the hotel atrium. This great program (run by Eric and Christina Paradis) debuted at ConnCon several years ago and has been playing to great crowds at libraries around Connecticut since! Beyond Candyland (which focuses on family gaming, particularly with younger children) is free to both convention guests and open to the public. No convention badge is required. So if you know a local family make sure you let them know about this free event ... let's get those kids into our gaming hobby!
