What started as a humble gathering has turned into a growing community.

AdamCon began as a group of friends playing board games in a single dining room at Adam’s house (thus the name), but after the first few years we expanded to the conference area of our gracious hosts, Ingage Partners, and then into Cerberus Den at Newport on the Levee. This year, 2023, we are at a brand-new location, Capstone Games Retail Store.

For the last several years, we have partnered with the charity Extra Life to support Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Our mission is:

  • Provide a free, fun, family-friendly gaming event for the community

  • Raise awareness and promote our awesome local game stores and other small business sponsors

  • Raise money for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital through our raffle

We are excited to continue to be an accessible, affordable, family-friendly board gaming event where people from all walks of life can come and learn new games, play old favorites, meet new people, and enjoy a fun-filled weekend, and we look forward to seeing you in January!
