The Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA) has announced plans to host an “Origins Trade Day” at this year’s Origins Game Fair. The Trade Day will be held on Thursday, June 23rd. The Fair runs from the 23rd to the 26th of June in Columbus, Ohio.

 

Like the recent GAMA Trade Show in Las Vegas, the Origins Trade Day is intended to give retailers and manufacturers an opportunity to connect and exchange information about new releases and trends in the hobby game industry. This year, the Trade Day will include:

 

Early Exhibit Hall hours for retailers only, between 9 AM and 10 AM;

 

Retailer seminars running from 1 PM to 4 PM; and

 

Premier Presentations from 6 PM to 8 PM.

 

Premier Presentations are interactive presentations given by show sponsors, who present and teach their new game products for the year. Like GTS, all retailers who participate in the Premier Presentations will receive a special “Appreciation Package.”
