OK, you loyal kobold minions, let's talk about conventions... If you would, answer the following questions for me.
(1) What conventions are in your area, what size are they, and do they have gaming? You can define "your area" any way you like.
(2) What conventions are you going to this year?

Didn't...I...just answer this? 
1. ICon. (www.iconsf.org) It's a large convention on Long Island NY. There are others closer to me (I live in CT) that have gaming. One decent one in December that I don't really manage to get to because of the freakin holidays is Anonycon. Exclusively gaming. ICon has gaming every year; a really good track in fact. I DM 3 events annually. Anonycon is small, but intense. Good stuff. Held in Stamford CT. Plus there's um, ConnCon in March IIRC. Never been, but I hear it's good.
2. ICon, Gen Con, maybe one other. Haven't decided. |

That's what you get for going to Paizo before checking in with your kobold taskmasters first.

I suppose I could answer my own questions, eh?
I don't know all the conventions in my area (Seattle), but I'm pretty sure I'll be at the following shows this year:
04/20-23 GAMA Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada
06/26-29 Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio
08/14-17 Gen Con Indy in Indianapolis, Indiana
Beyond that, I'm still trying to figure out which towns to visit 
If there are any European gamers on these boards, please let me know what conventions there are in Europe. I'd really like to visit a couple, if I have the time and am still there - especially in the fall.

I live in the southeastern corner of NC, and it's been 10 years since I went to a gaming convention, so I'm kinda outta the loop a bit.
Here's what little I know:
Megacon - Orlando, FL - March 7-8, 2008
http://www.megaconvention.com/
Stellarcon - High Point, NC - March 14-16, 2008
http://www.stellarcon.org/home
Some gaming, but not much.
Roundcon - Columbia, SC - April 4-6, 2008
http://www.roundcon.com/
Concarolinas - Charlotte, NC - May 30 - June 1, 2008
http://www.concarolinas.org/
Those will get you through the summer. Not really interested in any of them myself. But thinking seriously about Gen Con Indy!

If I can pull some funds together I might try and make my way to Origins this year. But odds are there are no cons in my future.
The only cons in my region that I know of are all small cons.

| Are there any Canadian Cons? I've never been able to find a satisfying answer. |

| Merci, I can get to Ottawa fairly easily (I'm in Toronto) compared to the places in the US. |
