General Information
The Kingston Area Gamers community is pleased to present KAG-Con 2021, an online gaming and fandom convention! This is our first foray into organizing such a large event, but hopefully not our last.
We have many events planned, including board-gaming, role-playing games, Q&A sessions with industry professionals, and much, much more! As each of these events are confirmed, they will be added to the Event Schedules below, as well as to our Discord Server.
All of the events are FREE and hosted by volunteers with a passion for what they do. We ask that all of our attendees follow the Kingston Area Gamers' guiding principles of having fun and being respectful of others.
For more information, any questions or concerns, please contact us through our Discord Server or via our email.

Vendors at KAG-Con and Kingston Area Gamers
The Kingston Area Gamers' Discord Server hosts a year-round Vendors Hall. Each vendor has a dedicated text-channel that they can use to advertise their wares and interact with the community. Think of it like a virtual version of a pop-up table at a market or convention, or as a mini, online store-front. Vendors can post photos, videos, text and more, answer enquiries about custom products, and describe their services (in detail, if they like).
The Vendors Hall is also a great place for members of the community to browse for unique gift ideas all year long.
If you would like your own virtual table in our Vendor Hall, let us know and we will get you set up.
EVENT SCHEDULE
Check back often as we will be adding more events as we get closer to the convention date.
Each event has a corresponding text-channel on our Discord Server where you can reserve your seat (this is important, as many of our gaming events have limited seats available). These text-channels are also where you can connect with the event hosts, find out more details or ask questions about the events, and talk to other attendees. Also, once you have reserved a seat at an event, it is easier for the hosts to keep you up to date regarding the events you are planning to attend, and to pass on instructions for connecting to the event when it starts.
