Whether you are a gamer, a game developer or prefer to do things the old fashioned way (with cards & dice) there is a gamer conference for you. While we tried to stick exclusively to gamer events (everything from old school to VR), there are a few others sprinkled in that have gaming elements or may be useful to game devs.
