What is SGC?
SGC is backed by ScrewAttack Entertainment LLC, home to the most downloaded video game entertainment content on the internet, with a dedicated and loyal fan base of over 1 million. A couple years ago, SGC attracted over 1,000 gamers from all over the world - from as far away as Colombia, Japan, the United Kingdom, and even Sweden. Our aim is to provide a fun venue that people of all ages from all walks of life can enjoy. Our event includes celebrity and industry speakers, how-to panels, a 10,000 sq ft console gaming area, Arcade, a dealer's room, table-top gaming, the Iron-Man of Gaming competition, and many tournaments throughout the weekend. SGC is best described as a three day slumber party, celebrating video games, pop culture, and most importantly, FUN!
