GAMA Members at origins

Your Member Benefits

If you're a voting GAMA member, Origins starts a little earlier and gives you a little more.

You’ll receive two full-show badges as part of your membership, giving you access to everything Origins has to offer.

If you’re also exhibiting, these are in addition to your exhibitor badge allocation, so your team still gets full coverage on the floor.

Claim Your Badges

Getting your badges is simple. Head over to Tabletop.Events using the button below, and sign up using the email tied to your GAMA membership!

If anything feels off or doesn’t work the way it should, reach out to us at registration@gama.org and we’ll get you sorted.

2026 Trade Day

When: June 17, 2026
Where: Greater Columbus Convention Center - Columbus, OH
Cost: Included with your GAMA voting membership!

Trade Day is where Origins shifts from playing games to understanding the business behind them.

This is a full day built for retailers and industry professionals who want to walk away with ideas they can actually use. Expect a mix of big-picture thinking and practical, on-the-floor takeaways. You’ll find conversations around customer experience, store design, community building, and what’s working right now in successful game stores.

There’s time to learn, time to talk with your peers, and time to see what others are doing differently. You won’t just hear ideas, you’ll leave with a clear sense of what you can try next.

And yes, there’s a natural flow to the day. You’ll move between sessions, conversations, and hands-on moments without it ever feeling like you’re stuck in a lecture.

GAMA MEMBER’S LOUNGE 

The Member Lounge is your reset button during the show.

It’s a comfortable, quieter space set aside for GAMA members to meet, connect, take a breather, or just sit down for a few minutes between everything happening on the floor.

Whether you’re having a quick conversation, catching up with someone you haven’t seen since the last show, or just need a place to regroup, this space is here for you.

It’s intentionally alcohol-free, giving you a more relaxed, business-friendly environment away from the noise and crowds.

Think of it as your home base at Origins.
