Every attendee of the Convention is required to wear a badge or wristband. Children ages 10 and under may attend the Convention at no cost and do not need a badge unless they will be participating in ticketed events. All children ages 10 and under attending the Convention must be accompanied by a Parent or Guardian with a badge, and children must be signed in at Registration and receive a wristband (for security purposes).

The purchase of a TsunamiCon badge implies that you have read and agreed to abide by our terms of service.  Our terms of service agreement can be found at tsunamicon.org/tos.

Nearly every event hosted by TsunamiCon is free of charge with the purchase of your badge, including convention-hosted tournaments, non-exclusive games, panels and activities, and live performances.  A small number of tournaments hosted by third-party vendors may require an additional entry fee to help cover the cost of prizes and/or materials. There are sometimes exclusive games that may require a small entry fee.

VIG badges will be available for this year's event only via our website for a limited time.  VIGs receive a full weekend pass with special VIG badge, a TsunamiCon 2024 T-Shirt, our TsunamiCon 2024 commemorative dice product and similar swag, and access to the VIG Lounge. All VIG members are also eligible for any non-exclusive gaming events and prize drawings.

VIG stands for Very Important Gamer.

Game Masters or Volunteers who commit to 4 or more hours of service at the convention are eligible for discounts on their badge. While you can purchase your discounted badge in advance, GMs are expected to register their games by November 24th to qualify for the discount. If you do not submit your events, you may be required to pay the balance for a weekend or day pass at the door.

Similarly, volunteers are expected to register their volunteer hours in advance. Visit our volunteers page for more information.

To purchase a discounted badge, select from the listed GM/Volunteer discounts available during checkout.

If you have questions about volunteering, contact volunteers@tsunamicon.org.

Various ticketing options will be available on our website.  Weekend and day passes will also be available during the event.

Absolutely! A game con is an excellent place to share your favorite games with other people. You can schedule a table in advance or just show up and put up a sign. Though we have an extensive collection of games available to play from the Game Library, you are welcome - and encouraged! - to bring any of your own favorite games to play.

The convention is a family-friendly event suitable for all ages. Our Game Library will not feature a huge selection of games specifically aimed at children and it will be up to the parent's discretion as to whether their children are sufficiently capable of enjoying the games and events available. We often have a few RPG and board game events aimed at children, but those events are arranged by community members and we make no guarantees.

Please note we do not have any onsite childcare, so your children are your responsibility at all times. Children 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

The operating hours for TsunamiCon 2024 are:

Friday, Dec 6st  2pm to 11pm
Saturday, Dec 7th  9am to 11pm
Sunday, Dec 8th  9am to 6pm

To submit a request to run a panel, lecture, or discussion group at the convention, submit your event for approval.  You are responsible for managing all necessary applications and providing any requisite resources for your presentation. Space is limited, so be prepared to be flexible. If you have any questions, contact our event coordinator at events@tsunamicon.org.

At TsunamiCon, we are always looking for dedicated game masters. To schedule a game during the convention, visit our game registration page and submit the details of your event. Your event will then be approved and scheduled by management as available. If we require clarification or request changes to your entry, you will be contacted via email and asked to make any necessary adjustments and resubmit. If you have any questions or want more information, contact our event coordinator at events@tsunamicon.org.

We are very interested in seeing new games and game-related products showcased at our event, and we are excited to help local and regional game designers gain exposure.  If you are interested in demoing a game or product, you are welcome to schedule demos as you see fit. If you have questions, please contact our event coordinator at events@tsunamicon.org.  For maximum exposure and preferential access to space, we encourage you to purchase an exbititor space in the TsunamiCon Virtual Marketplace.

Anyone interested in attending TsunamiCon will need to purchase a badge.  A badge gives you access to our game space, panels and entertainment programs, and other free events.  A badge will also allow you to purchase event tickets to participate in specific games and events.

Note that, with rare exception, tickets to games and events at the convention are free and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

This year's TsunamiCon event is being held at the Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview at 400 W Douglas Ave in downtown Wichita. You can find information on reserving a room at our group rate here.

TsunamiCon takes place annually in the fall.  This year's event is being held December 6th through 8th, 2024.
