About Origins Game Fair
An event for tabletop gaming, featuring new game releases, industry networking, and educational sessions for retailers and publishers.
Origins Game Fair 2027
Origins Game Fair runs 9–13 June 2027 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio.
Run by GAMA, the tabletop industry's trade association, Origins is one of North America's major tabletop gaming conventions — five days of open gaming, organised play, publisher exhibits and events across board games, RPGs, miniatures and card games. It pairs a consumer show's energy with an industry connection that GAMA's ownership gives it, including trade programming for retailers and publishers.
Its early-summer slot makes it the season's major tabletop meeting between spring's industry events and Gen Con in August.
