The SWA holds monthly gaming sessions, usually on the first Saturday of each month. Each Gameathon has two time slots for events: 11am - 4pm, and 5pm - 10pm. We can also accommodate games that run longer than five hours, if needed. Doors open around 10am, so GMs can arrive early to set up. Admission is just $5 for the whole day (cash only), and free for students up to 12th grade, as well as GMs running a scheduled game.

Gameathons are held at Proctors Theatre in the Hearst Education Center (the finished basement under the cafe). Stairs and elevators to the basement are located off the main corridor, between the box office and cafe area. Proctors has its own parking lot, and there's a garage across the street; both are normally free on weekends.

Gameathon dates for 2026 are: January 3, February 7, March 7, April 4, May 2, June 6, July 11, August 1, October 3, November 7, and December 5. Council Con will be held in September, replacing that month's Gameathon. We generally ask for events three weeks ahead of time, and post the schedule the week before game day; both announcements are sent via our mailing list. You can submit events through our Google form, and preregister for events on our signup spreadsheet. If you have any questions or comments, please send them to our GAT email address: game-a-thon [at] swa-gaming [dot] org.
