(They'll also be streaming the panel on their Twitch channel, ) /RPHpUFip5Yīrother and sister Kyle and Kaitlyn Fehr attended the event Saturday. Today at 5 PM, our friends at are hosting a Ladies Power Hour to discuss the future of women in gaming (among many other things!) on our Panel Stage - you don't want to miss it! “We have tons of eSports here as well, but nothing on that BDC convention side where you bring the board games and video games and bring the actual publishers and the developers into the room, to show everybody what they're working on.” “There's lots of eSports events and different great things that are happening,” he said.

Meilleur says these conventions are typically held in the United States, but felt it was missing from the Canadian market. “We started conceptualizing this thing during COVID and so we just started reaching out to some of our partners that we knew that might have some stake in the gaming sector to say, ‘hey, why aren't we doing this in Canada?“ “It’s been two years in the making,” said Chris Meilleur, CEO of Meibel Consulting and GameCon Canada. Meibel Consulting is hosting Game Con Canada (GCC) which is hosting hundreds of vendors including AAA and indie video game studios, tabletop board game developers and publishers, eSports, cosplay competitions, celebrity guests, industry panels, game gear, gadgets and toy retailers from around the world. Thousands flocked to the BMO Centre Saturday for a first-of-its-kind gaming convention in Canada.
