Please fill out the form below with your event (if you’d like to run multiple events, please fill out a separate form for each) and if you have any questions, please let me know via email at atom@tabletopminions.org and I’ll get you sorted.
Housing
There is a discounted hotel block available at the Oshkosh Waterfront Marriott Hotel (across the skywalk from the convention center) for $139.99 per night.
