Om kongressen:

The UKGE team welcomes you to the 2018 UK Games Expo. This is the UK’s largest annual celebration of tabletop gaming. We have worked hard all year with
our sponsors and partners to bring you the very best games, experiences, live entertainment, tournaments and opportunities for a great day or weekend out.
We invite you for a few hours or days to put aside the concerns of the world and to just have fun with friends and family and maybe to make new friends too.
Let the games begin!

Take the time to grab a coffee, put your feet up, and read this section of the programme in order to get the most out of your visit.

The show is now huge, occupying around 30,000 sqm of space - 35 times the size of the first UKGE event in 2007!
• Hall 1 of the NEC has the bulk of our exhibitors, along with Gamesquest Shop and Drop, HABA Family zone, cosplay areas, and UKGE’s merchandise stand.
• Hall 2 of the NEC is the home to the rest of our exhibitors, along with the tournament spaces, Travelling Man Bring and Buy, Thirsty Meeples Board Game
Library, Open Gaming, Children’s Roleplaying, Playtest UK, and the Main Stage.
• The Toute Suite outside Hall 1, next to our ticket booths, is where our seminars are held.
• The Piazza Suite between Hall 1 and Hall 2 is the location of the Cartamundi Publisher-Designer Track events.
• The lakeside area between the NEC, Resort World and the Hilton Metropole Hotel is the site of the Viking Village and Orc Encampment, as well as the Cook Street
food area.
• The Hilton Metropole Hotel is the home to our Roleplaying Games, Live Entertainment, Open Gaming, and a second Board Game Library (open in the evenings).
• In the V.I.P. car park outside the Hilton Hotel is the UKGE Food
festival at Chow Street.

UKGE is a great place to walk around and see everything to do with tabletop gaming, whether that means boardgames, roleplaying games, family games,
miniatures gaming, party games, or card games.

If you are new to the UKGE and have not played many games before, don’t worry! Thereare hundreds of tables in the exhibitor stands where you can sit down and try out games, and you don’t need to know the rules. There will be tens of thousands of games on sale.

In the tournament halls you can enter events to win some cool prizes, like trips to world finals in Germany, Israel, and America. Or you can just enter for fun!

In the roleplaying rooms you can play short games where you take on the role of heroes and villains in stories that you and the gamemaster create.

In the Seminar room and Piazza Suite you can hear talks and panels on every aspect of tabletop gaming from recommendations by podcast and YouTube
shows, to a guide on designing and making your own games.

The Live Entertainment schedule gives you a chance to kick back and take in a show that blends comedy and gaming.

The Viking and Orc Village outside and the Cosplay Zones indoors are opportunities to have some fun with costumed groups or learn about their hobby.

So, what are you waiting for? Dive in and find out more!
