Game On Expo returns to the Phoenix Convention Center August 7-9, 2020 – and “Early Bird” tickets are now on sale! The expo will feature even more eSports championships, retro and tabletop play, music performances, anime cosplay, celebrity guests – and the same welcoming atmosphere from previous years. 

 

Boasting more than 10,000 attendees in 2019 alone, Game On Expo has quickly become the largest and most popular gaming event in Arizona.

Laser focused on G.A.M.E. (Gaming, Anime, Music, and eSports) content, Game On Expo was created in 2015 by streaming legend John Lester/Gamester81 and Neil Kotler – who owns one of Phoenix’ most beloved retro gaming stores and Arizona’s largest anime seller, Collectors Marketplace.

For 2020, the organizers are planning a Classic Tetris World Championship regional qualifier and even more of an emphasis on Super Smash Bros. tournaments. There will also be a unique gaming-focused auction where attendees can bid on rare items.
