The 2022 GAMA Expo returned after a virtual-only event in 2021. This trade show, hosted by The Game Manufacturers Association, brings together board game, card game, RPG publishers, game shops, and distributors to look at new games and discuss topics in the industry. The 2022 GAMA Expo was held in Reno March 14th to the 18th. The 2023 Expo will also be in Reno, and it was announced the 2024 through 2026 Expos will be in Louisville.

BCW Supplies managed a seminar on Tuesday, March 15th, hosted by Andrew Phillips. Much of the presentation was about BCW products, including our Spectrum brand of board game, RPG, and card game accessories. Andrew has a wealth of knowledge about game shop accessories, so he also shared ideas in the supplies category beyond the BCW and Spectrum brands. In addition to working for BCW, Andrew is the owner of Level Up Games which has two retail locations in Georgia. Andrew also worked for GTS Distribution for several years, so he has seen the industry from several angles.
