2008 was a great year for Origins! The show grew to five days, we debuted the Fair-Only Pass, and attendance increased by over 1,500 unique attendees. We were delighted by the flood of great responses from attendees, GMs, and exhibitors, and immediately started taking that feedback and putting plans in place for an even better 2009.
We’ve got some great plans for 2009 – fantastic guests, exciting tournaments, and a few new surprises. If you'd like to take a look at what we've got in store for events for 2009, just take a look at our Events page - the whole list of 4,333 events is downloadable there!
The 2009 Origins Game Fair will of course still have the signature events you keep coming back for year after year. The Play with The Creator Series, Origins Theme Tracks, Smithee and Origins Awards, Origins War College, Board Room and War Room, Teacher’s Hall Pass, and much more!
Looking for special guests? We have a great roster of them for you this year! Peter Mayhew, Chewbacca from Star Wars, will be joining us this year! He'll join Monte Cook, James Earnest, Robin D. Laws, Chris O'Neill, Wayne Reynolds, and Andrea Sfiligoi on our Guest List, and will be doing pictures and signings in the Exhibit Hall.
