Game '08:
GameCons' aim is to provide a great experience for gamers and non-gamers alike with the best combination of games and tournaments at a UK convention. We aim to provide a comfortable and well managed environment in which enthusiasts, children and families can enjoy gaming and other hobbies.
We are Manchester Based and have been steadily growing since our first convention at Game '06. In 2007 we had approximately 1500 attendees and we are expecting many more in 2008 – maybe you will be one of them?
GameCon and Imagination Gaming have teamed up to bring games clubs to schools and Scout groups. Both are firm believers in the educational and developmental benefits of playing games as children and families. GameCon aims to introduce Children and families to games for the first time.
