GAMA MOVES ORIGINS GAME FAIR BACK TILL FALL

BY Drac

The Game Manufacturer’s Association announced that they have pushed Origins Game Fair back till the Fall due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns.

Origins Game Fair 2021 was originally scheduled to take place on June 16 to June 20.

There might hope they can pull this off this year. Now all eye are on Gen Con.

 

Based on the hopeful news that COVID-19 vaccines are being distributed and reports from the CDC that community events and conventions should be able to resume later this year, we have made the decision to move this year’s Origins Game Fair from our usual June weekend to September 30 – October 3, 2021.

Safety is our primary concern, and we believe holding Origins later in the year provides the best path forward to have an in-person event this year.

We are working with other game convention organizers to develop guidelines for safe events, including, but not limited to:

  • Requiring Face Masks
  • Social Distancing
  • Temperature Checks
  • Hand Sanitizing Stations

In the interim, we encourage everyone to help fight the pandemic by wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, washing your hands, and getting the vaccine when you are able. Together we can work towards returning back to normal.

We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation and will provide updates as we get closer to the event. Exhibitor and sponsorship information will be available on February 16. If you have any questions, please email registration@gama.org.
