Programming submissions are open for #GXEast17!

As you may have already seen, we opened up submissions to volunteer at our second ever GaymerX East. We couldn’t stop there though, so now we’ve opened up submissions for Panels and Tabletop Games as well!!

Panels are incredibly important to our conventions, and we definitely want to highlight under-represented voices from East Coast communities. Please, even if you’re feeling shy or if you’ve never spoken publicly before, send us that talk you’ve always wanted to present. Speaking with friend is always an option too, just be sure to have your collaborators fill out this form as well so we know to include them.

If panels aren’t necessarily your favourite way to get your voice out there, you could also run a session of your favorite tabletop game! We aren’t limiting submissions to the classics either; if you’ve been working on a game of your own and just want to get some fresh hands on it please submit that as well! This is all about you, right? So please send us tabletop games of all kinds! We’re ready and excited to review.

If you have questions about submitting a panel or workshop, drop us a note at [email protected]. While there is no submission deadline to volunteer, Panel and Tabletop submissions are due by August 30th. So get those submissions in please! We can’t wait to see what you have to share with us!

We're Funded!!
almost 7 years ago – Mon, Jun 19, 2017 at 07:18:50 AM

As of today GaymerX East 2017 is officially funded!

This is just the BEGINNING! Now that we’re funded we can secure great guests, speakers, performers and of course games games games! Although, don't think we haven't been working on the con yet. We have been talking to various folks from the NY area about some of the things we can do to step up from the year before and we’re already making the plans to do so! 

  • You can expect to see both a wider array of tabletop gaming but also more dedication to tabletop in general, with scheduled play sessions and relevant guests!
  • On the cosplay side, we’re planning to have amenities available at-con so that people can change and get help with their costumes as needed, as well as more cosplay and drag related fun at-con.
  • We're speaking to some really awesome people about joining us as special guests and sharing some amazing stories and experiences with us! 
  • We're working on having an off-venue post-show party and we're talking with really amazing people to really go off with a bang!
  • We are talking to some larger AAA game companies about possibly having a presence at the event, and at the very least some speakers. Keep in mind, the more YOU tell those companies to come to GaymerX, the more likely it is they'll come so make sure you let them know to show up!
  • We have made plans to have some new gaming tech at con to either be shown or demoed at the event, including VR.
  • Indies! Anyone who knows us knows we're great at scouting some really awesome/fascinating/ridiculous/powerful indie games, and we'll definitely be doing that again!

Please please please make sure you email us at [email protected] if there's anything you really want or would like to see. As always we are a community made from the wishes or our audience and we wanna make all the stuff you wish for come true!!

Shortly after the Kickstarter finishes we will be sending out a BackerKit which is essentially a web tool that lets you take the total of what you backed the KS for and then reorganize what rewards you'd like to get, in order to make a very straightforward no-confusion process!

Keep an eye out because we have a lot to announce real soon!
