What?: SIMCON is an annual games convention sponsored by the University of Rochester Simulation Gaming Association (URSGA). Held every March on the University's River Campus, the SIMCON conventions have, for over thirty years, provided a meeting-place where gameplayers from the Rochester area, the surrounding multistate region, and beyond (including attendees from as far away as California) can learn from each other and from experts in the field, exchange ideas, and test their skills against those of their peers in friendly competition.

Each SIMCON is a three-day conference filled with tournaments, games, game demonstrations, and other events, including:

• Miniature, CCG, board game, and role-playing tournaments, including Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Magic: The Gathering, and others.
• The Merchants' Bazaar, a marketplace of games, accessories, and other interesting goods for our attendees' perusal
• Panels, discussions with special guests, special events, demonstrations, open gaming, and much more.
