iConvention07 Registration now Open!

[snikle]

As of today the registration for iCon07 has opened. If you do not know what iCon07 is, it is a all online gaming convention showcasing the next generation of gaming using Virtual Gaming Table (VGT) applications. Some of you might have heard of OpenRPG in the past, maybe even used it. Forget about it. The VGTs available today are leaps and bounds ahead of what OpenRPG had to offer.
It is a FREE registration and we have a ton of sponsors that are donating time to run demonstrations of their software, posting tutorials, participating in interviews, running adventures using their VGTs, and many are offering prizes to be given away to participants during the convention.
If you have yet to experience online gaming using VGTs, or are like many of us and just cannot find the time or the people to get a local group together, take a step to help your gaming.

Open Registration has begun, please follow the following steps:
For iCon Registration, you first MUST be registered for the FUM forum.

Once you have completed that step, all one needs to do is click this link:

This looks promising.

I know that I'm looking forward to it, despite my busy schedule and crappy PC (it prohibits me from running or playing any games at the con). I liked the idea of an online con when Cyber Games was fooling around with it (though like everything else that they touched, it fell apart), so it's cool to see somebody competent run with the idea. Here's hoping that this takes off in a big way!

I'm looking for information on the various available VGTs here -

I'm also wondering if these are the only allowed VGTs for iCon -

What about ScreenMonkey from NBOS?

Actually NBOS just got back to us and they will be sponsoring iCon as well! They are very busy with development and will be in a limited capacity at the convention, but we are hoping to have some games or demos ran by their users at the convention.

Any and all VGTs are more than welcome at iCon, after all, that is what this convention is really about. In addition, we are welcoming all game systems as well.

Just registered, thanks Snikle! Our group just started using Fantasy Grounds last month. We're thinking of switching to MapTool, but I'd like to give the others a go too.

Excellent. At iCon you should have ample opportunity to try out all the VGTs, a few of them are even setting up special demonstrations and demo versions of the software for the convention, so you should be able to try them all out for free at iCon.
