EsOne Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone! We are "The Ohio Retro Gamer" and this year kicks off our second annual TORGSummit retro gaming convention! First, let me explain what "The Ohio Retro Gamer" is. We started off as a lowly Facebook group in Feb 2015. Just a couple guys who shared a passion. We slowly grew our numbers. In mid-August we decided to hold a get-together for our members. We called this get-together TORGSummit. With only 1 1/2 months of planning, very little budget, no advertising, and an idea, we managed to secure a very nice 2700 sq ft room in the Hilton Easton hotel. We offered a free-play arcade, vendors, tournaments, giveaways, and pretty much everything you come to expect from a small convention. Just by word of mouth our first Summit went off without a hitch with an attendance of 250-300 people! This year we've expanded! More time to plan, and more budget we aim to make TORGSummit even better this year! We've got a 5100sq ft convention space in a very nice hotel, and more time to plan events and advertise! More room More vendors More games More giveaways More everything! This year, TORGSummit will be taking place at the Hilton Easton Regent Ballroom, 3900 Chagrin Dr, Columbus, OH 43219, on Sunday June 26th. Admission is only $4, pre-registration or $6 at the door. Atendees under 13 are free with adult registration. We are currently looking for vendors too! Until May 1st, tables are prices as follows: First table is $25 Second and Third are $15 each Forth+ is $10 each After May 1st, a flat rate of $25/table is enforced. To register: www.torgsummit.com We're always looking for Ohio natives to join our group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheOhioRetroGamer/ Facebook Public Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/778897805548532/ Edited February 2, 2016 by EsOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Popp Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Date has been changed. Please note. New date is July 9th at the Hilton of Easton, Columbus Ohio I did not attend last year, but is it safe to say it's a similar style conference/setup as CORGS? My main reason to attend would be vendors and buying games, but coming from the west, it's a little further away than corgs. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsOne Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 It's pretty similar to CORGS. We'll have vendors, tournaments, door prizes, and other goodies. Both CORGS and TORG Summit are in the greater Columbus area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
