We will be at the former Holdiay Inn Select - Memphis Airport (2240 Democrat Rd)

We are pleased to announce that we have the dates for GameCon Memphis V!  So mark your calendars for Sept 30th-Oct 2nd.  Once again we will be at the same hotel, the now former Holiday Inn Select - Memphis Airport.  They are currently in the process of rebranding the hotel so once that is worked out we will let you know.

We will be opening online registration for the convention in the coming weeks and at that time
we will start taking sign ups for GMs and volunteers.   If you want to start volunteering now, shoot us an email at volunteers@gameconmemphis.com and we will be happy to get you started!

Remember that design contest we hosted back at GameCon Memphis III in 2009?  Our winners, Diego Rich and his co-designers, have worked nonstop since then to make sure that their dream is realized.  With a successful round of fundraising they have gotten the money together to publish Mob Ties.  They expect it to be ready sometime in the spring.  We anticipate having a copy of the final product at GameCon Memphis V!

Congratulations to Diego, Nathan, John, Devin, and Collin.  And hopefully this will be the first in a long string of successful games for Hostage Entertainment!

Speaking of the boardgame design contest; Rio Grande Games has decided not to continue sponsoring the contest.  We are continuing to research the possibility of continuing the contest.  However, with the current state of the boardgame industry the possibility of a publishing commitment is slim.

We remain committed to the game designers who have supported us in the past and will continue to look for ways to support them.   We believe that a game convention is an outstanding vehicle for playtesting and
refining prototype games.  And we hope that all of the designers who have had the opportunity to participate in this contest have gotten
valuable feedback about their designs.

We also want to thank Jay Tummelson for his support of the Chicago Toy & Game Fair design contest and the opportunity that he extended to the entire design community.
