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.
