What do I need to do?
If you are new, and/or shy, don't worry! There will be an awkwardly tall, loud woman who gets cold easily. That's me! I'll get you ushered into a game that suits your fancy, and give you a name tag if you so choose. And if I'm not there, someone will be there to take my place! That's all. This not a structured event where we plan what games we will play in advance. People can play and/or bring whatever games they want :)I do encourage people who have board games they want to play to bring them !!! (if they want to. it's not a requirement) I'll always bring a lot of my own games, but variety is the spice of life.
Also, we're running a board game convention:
I am part of a non-profit organization called Meeple Academy that's running a board game convention in Bentonville called AdventureCon.

Last thing:
For transparency's sake, we do receive 10% of the proceeds from this event. As a member of Meeple Academy, I can assure you those proceeds will be put back into the community through making a better convention, running welcoming events, and supplying public spaces with board games. We're a fairly new organization, and are still figuring things out. But we do genuinely want to make the lives of NWA's denizens more vibrant, one board game at a time. - AdventureConFour Points by Sheraton Bentonville, Bentonville, AR
