2009 Summit Provided Educational Opportunities for Game Stores & Retailers Wanting to Sell Games

Retailers roll up some miniature super-hero action with WizKids/NECA's "HeroClix." Mayfair gave attendees a "geography lesson" with "Catan Geographies: Germany," just a small part of a huge Catan "universe." Fantasy Flight Games' "Warhammer: Invasion" provided spellbinding game play for these young store staffers. Wizards of the Coast enlightened retailers to the numerous benefits of Organized Play at a focused seminar.

Storeowners already familiar with the benefits of selling games and those curious about getting into gaming took advantage of numerous demos and presentations from some of the industry’s top vendors at the Summit.

Retailers experienced a full slate of game-related programming, including workshops, demos, open gaming and more, providing the perfect opportunity for them to expand their retail repertoire and games expertise. On hand to assist attendees were experts from a veritable Who’s Who of the gaming industry, including representatives from Bandai, Bucephalus Games, Days of Wonder, Fantasy Flight, Green Ronin Publishing, Konami, Mayfair, North Star, Wells Expeditions and Wizards of the Coast.

In the Exhibit Hall, Summit attendees could talk with manufacturers like Days of Wonder, or sneak a peek at games like "Memoir 44." AEG's "The Adventurers" drew widespread attention from retailers touring the Exhibit Hall. The Army Painter displayed stunning examples of the intricate detail work possible with game accessories. The team from Alliance Game Distributors was also on hand to offer store owners and managers advice and information on carrying games profitably.
