Origins Game Fair

Origins Game Fair is one of the major legacy tabletop gaming conventions in the United States. Organized by GAMA, it began in 1975 and developed into a long-running showcase for board games, roleplaying games, miniatures, and industry-facing programming in Columbus, Ohio.

Origins occupies a different place in convention culture than purely fan-run hotel cons because of that trade-association backbone. Even so, it remains a public-facing gaming fair rather than a closed industry conference, which is why it continues to matter to hobby players as well as publishers.
