ABSTRACT

There are millions of people who love board games. Many of them are wildly passionate about the hobby and want to share their love of these games with everyone around them. Conventions, or “cons,” as we affectionately call them in the board game world, are popular events that are held all over the world, but especially in North America. Literally, hundreds of events take place every year, and someone needs to organize each and every one. David Bloomberg is one of those organizers. He's one of the founders of Breakout Con, a small- to medium-sized con that brings over fifteen hundred gamers together at one big event every year.
