RinCon is an annual 3-day tabletop gaming convention hosted by the Southern Arizona Gamers’ Association, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  RinCon 2026 will be held at the Casino Del Sol Conference Center on tribal lands of the Pascua Yaqui people Our theme this year is Myth and Legend, so start thinking about what games of epic proportions you’re going to want to play!

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! We’re working on getting this year’s volunteer site set up, but if you’re interested in getting involved, send us a message here and we’ll get it to our volunteer coordinator.

RUNNING GAMES AT RINCON
This is the other way to support the convention. For every 4 hours of programming that you run, you get one day of your badge for free. When our submission site is open, we’ll have a link here, and we’ll let you know via our newsletter. You’re on our mailing list, right?

HOW TO GET TO RINCON EVENTS
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. After parking in the free garage, enter the casino through the covered walkway, turn left, and you’re at the Conference Center.
