Taking place in the second quarter of 2009 in Alberta’s Capital City, the Edmonton Game Convention is poised to become Canada’s premiere consumer oriented game convention.

The EGC will bring together gamers of all ages and kinds — young and old, hard-core and casual — in a welcoming environment where all attendees are free to spend a weekend playing games and engaging in opportunities for dialogue about the world of games.

While this could be seen as just another game convention, we are truly different. As a non-profit society, all attendees become members of the organization and can have a say in how things are being done. This is a truly consumer oriented convention — the only one in Canada that can say it is indeed organized for gamers by gamers.

Please visit the Event section of our website for an overview of the individual components of the EGC that promise to make it an exciting and enjoyable weekend.

The convention is organized and operated by the volunteer-run Edmonton Game Convention Committee, a completely not-for-profit registered Society. For more information about the EGCC, its organizational structure, and operating guidelines please see the Governance section of the website.

This blog is a group-blogging effort by the various members of the EGCC, which we hope will give participants of the EGC a chance to interact with the committee members, and allow us to give participants a glimpse into the people behind the Convention.
