Gateway

Gateway is the Labor Day weekend entry in the Strategicon convention trio in Southern California. As with OrcCon and Gamex, its programming spans RPGs, board games, miniatures, card games, and live-action events across a hotel-con structure built for round-the-clock play.

The convention's identity comes partly from that trilogy framework: Gateway closes out the annual Strategicon cycle rather than standing entirely on its own. That recurring structure gives it a dependable audience and a familiar format.
