ConsimWorld Expo

Overview

ConsimWorld Expo is a serious wargaming convention run by ConsimWorld LLC, a game publisher and information portal which has been 'serving the wargame community since 1996'. While it happens here in Arizona, the majority (at least 80%) of attendees come from out of state or even from overseas. It seems to carry a second name, MonsterGame.CON, which highlights a key focus on 'monster games' or single campaigns featuring many players that take the whole week to unfold. Such games are difficult to manage outside of the convention setup.
