Reacting to the unfolding Covid-19 pandemic, following British government advice, the UK Gaming Expo has rescheduled for Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd of August.
UK Games Expo
Since its foundation in 2007, the UK Games Expo (UKGE) has expanded into the world's third-largest hobby games convention. This archive chronicles Geek Native's long-term coverage of the trade fair's evolution at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) and Hilton Birmingham Metropole. Rather than just a list of past events, these historical records document the shifting trends of the international tabletop industry - from the early playtesting of breakout roleplaying games to major product launches by global publishers.
This collection serves as a definitive timeline of the community milestones, game demonstrations, and industry shifts that have shaped the UK's premier gaming hub.
You can sponsor this slot as part of our UK Games Expo package.
