The Gathering Grounds
The Gathering Grounds
The Gathering Grounds is a new, dedicated space at MagicCon that is open to all attendees! Designed to celebrate everything that makes us different and lift up those from historically marginalized and underrepresented groups, this is a place to gather, play games, make new connections, promote organizations and more!
We are thrilled to share the organizations that we have partnered with to participate in this space. Learn more about them below and be sure to stop by during the weekend:
