SIGN UP FOR GAMES AND OTHER EVENTS
Once you’ve purchased your badge, you’ll get an email that evening with instructions on how to register with sched.com, which is the site we use for game sign-ups. PLEASE be sure to use the same address where you receive this invite email to set up your sched account. Otherwise, it won’t associate your badge purchase, and you won’t be able to sign up for anything. The schedule opens on Sunday, September 20th at 2PM – set yourself an alarm!
VOLUNTEER BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER THE CONVENTION
RinCon is a 100% volunteer-run event; we truly appreciate how the community comes together to make it all happen! For every four hours of volunteering, you’ll get one day of your badge free, whether you help out before, during, or after the convention. You can also accrue hours for a badge for a friend or family member, so the sky’s the limit! There are still several shifts available – click here to go to our volunteer sign-up page.
RUNNING GAMES AT RINCON
This is the other way to support the convention. Click here to submit your game sessions! Submissions close on September 24th – after that time, feel free to bring a game and set up at one of our many open gaming tables!
RESERVE YOUR HOTEL ROOM
Our hotel room block is open until September 19th, with special block rates for RinCon attendees. Click here to see the instructions from the hotel. When making your room reservation, you can either book online or call in. If you need to call (e.g., you want to book extra nights before/after the event, you need an ADA-compliant or other specific room type, you can get better rates from casino membership, etc.) PLEASE make sure that your reservation is associated with the RinCon/Southern AZ Gamers’ Association block. We get contract benefits for each room booking associated with our event. Thank you!!

How to get to RinCon
This map shows how to get to the free parking garage adjacent to the conference center. The Del Sol hotel tower is the orange building, and the Estrella hotel tower is the pink. If you have hotel reservations, make sure to check which tower your reservation is for; their systems are separate, and you can only check in at the tower where you’re staying.
To get to the conference center: after parking in the free garage, enter the casino through the covered walkway, turn left, go through the glass doors next to the coffee shop, and you’re there! The registration desk is just inside.
