Game Summit Winter Skirmish 2009 is sneaking up on us with a week away, I’d like to thank the 35+ Ambassadors who will be making this event a success. It’s a lot of work to bring a Game Summit Skirmish to life, and we make those events special by getting a little help from our friends.

We have enough Ambassadors for this upcoming event, but if you’ve ever thought you’d like to lend a little help to upcoming Game Summits and use a little of your talents and knowhow to make our Skirmishes the best they can be then the Game Summit Ambassador program may be the thing for you! We have plans to kick-off annual Game Summits in 6 cities across the country + a national event hosting major tournaments. To accomplish this mission we will be launching our official Ambassadorship program this spring.

Game Summit is upon us very soon. In one month, the doors will be flung open and the gaming madness will begin. We wanted to touch base with you all before the hour gets too late and let you know several important and interesting tidbits. Let me get right into them and let you know what’s going on.

First things first: Registration for the Game Summit Winter Skirmish is now open, and you can get there by catching a taxi to the Registration Page. Note that early-bird registrants get 25% off the admission price. This is definitely a decent deal, but if you can’t get online to register (or don’t have means to pay electronically), check out the Game Summit Forums for information on how to register at stores in the Ottawa area and still take advantage of the early bird price. Note that if you’re going to join in a tournament, you really should register ahead of time. If you arrive and we’re out of spots in a tournament, you’re out of luck!

Sitting down at one of my favourite coffee house spot chatting one on one with another crazy creative guy like myself, always turns out to be a possible recipe for new adventures! And that’s what happened this past spring, sitting down with a long time friend of the family catching up after loosing touch for many years, Corey and I did exactly that we cracked up our piggy bank of nutty ideas and it was born… The premier Game Summit event of 2008 launched at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario on October 11th. As the first of many Game Summit events to come, it opened its doors to table-top gamers of all kinds. The 2008 Skirmish provided plenty of space for board gamers and people who like a light pastime as well as those who are die-hard hobbyists by having discrete areas which cater directly to the tastes of a wide variety of gamers.
