Winter Skirmish 2009 :: Floorplan & Program
The Game Summit Winter Skirmish event of 2009 will be held at the Embassy West Hotel Conference Centre in Ottawa, Ontario from February 28 to March 1st. The Skirmish follows on the heels of our successful Fall event of 2008 and brings many more table-top gamers, events and contests all together in one venue. Casual, hardcore gamers and hobbyists alike will be busy from the moment the doors open at this top-flight convention.

The Marketplace & Garage Sale
Gamers know that there's no joy like the joy of finding the perfect board game, the rarest expansion or the coolest book. That's why we'll have over a dozen merchants attending Game Summit with their time-wasting wares out for eager hobbyists to peruse between games. Is it good enough to have all the best stores and merchants selling directly to you from the Skirmish floor? We don't think so... which is why we're offering credit to Game Summit for discounts and deals so you walk away with more goodies for less loot.
