ConSimWorld Expo June 6th-12th!

Jun 2, 2011

One of the hottest wargaming conventions is just around the corner! ConSimWorld Expo 2011 is being held at the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel, one of Arizona’s premiere resorts from June 6th through the 12th.

The Ultimate Gaming Experience — CSW Expo 2011, featuring MonsterGame.CON XI, has it all! The best and grandest games ever assembled, the most enthusiastic gamers and industry personalities coming together to celebrate the hobby, fantastic hotel accommodations and event facility, exhibitor showcase, seminars, game auction, flea market, breakfast speakers, TONS of door prizes, and much more.

ALL NEW for CSW Expo 2011 — Here are some exciting enhancements to our program for 2011. First, we’ve added an additional day of gaming by starting one day earlier (Monday, June 6). Next, we’ve dropped the hotel room rate by $10 per night. And finally, to maximize the value of your overnight stay, hotel guests will be able to enjoy the Afternoon Breakstations on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for free!

About MonsterGame.CON — The mission of MonsterGame.CON XI, a CSW Expo exclusive, is to provide a dedicated venue for one to participate in the monster game of their choosing. A single game title. With today’s demanding schedule and responsibilities, many gaming enthusiasts find themselves hard-pressed to find the time or colleagues necessary to orchestrate such an ambitious multiplayer undertaking. Such desire is usually relegated to never-realized dreams, or result in games being played over a disjointed, extended period. But no more! ConsimWorld Expo delivers a truly memorable gaming experience, delivering the realization, “I finally got to play that game!”

Open-Gaming Nirvana — Not into monster gaming? Fret not! If open-gaming is more your speed (which is the case for nearly half our attendees), we have dedicated gaming space available to cater to those unable to attend the entire event or preferring to partake in multiple open-gaming endeavours. We typically play host to more than 30+ open gaming titles each year. If it’s a wargame you are accustomed to seeing at WBC, you will definitely see it here!

An Incredible Venue — Here’s a short list of special activities you’ll experience at ConsimWorld Expo: Evening Welcome Reception, Game Demos and Sneak Peeks, Seminars, Special Gaming Events, Featured Playtest Sessions, Open-gaming, Breakfast After Action Reports, Afternoon Breakstation (for hotel guests), Flea Market Tables, Game Auction, Exhibitor Room, Evening Coffee Clutch, Door Prizes, The Great Quiz Show, and even more surprises in store for 2011!

Special Events Galore — Every year we host numerous special events and seminars, including our always popular Down in Flames Aces’ Campaign, The Great Quiz Show (team competition), and the Strike Force One Tournament (with more than $1K in prizes for this single event alone!).

A Who’s Who List of Industry Personalities — We’re just getting started, so expect to see this list grow! Game industry personalities scheduled to appear including Gene Billingsley, Christopher Cummins, Tony Curtis, Alan Emrich, Gary Graber, Mark Hinkle, Joseph Miranda, Michael Resch, Mark Simonitch, Jeff Tibbets, Vance von Borries, Ian Weir, Rick Young, Joe Youst, and many more!
