STAFF, VOLUNTEERS, & CREDITS

Welcome to AdeptiCon 2025, where we gather for one extraordinary long weekend—March 26th to March 30th—at our new home, the Baird Center, in Milwaukee’s heart.

As we launch this chapter, we’re excited to unite familiar faces and new friends for a tabletop gaming celebration like no other, thanks to our incredible staff and volunteers who make it possible.

This milestone move to a state-of-the-art facility, chosen to fit our growing community while preserving AdeptiCon’s spirit, reflects their dedication. We’ve tackled every challenge—parking, layouts, hotels, dining—to ensure a seamless transition, letting you focus on the games, stories, and bonds that define this event.

For over two decades, AdeptiCon has been a family reunion—a rich weave of camaraderie, diversity, and unity. Whether you’re a veteran dice-roller or a first-timer, you’re part of something special. We hail from all corners with unique passions, yet share a love for the hobby. Our staff and volunteers have tirelessly carbon-copied this warm, tight-knit vibe from our roots, even as we welcome thousands more.

From sprawling tournaments to stunning miniatures, workshops to late-night chats over painted armies, we aim for an exceptional experience. The Baird Center gives us space to grow, but your energy—amplified by our team’s efforts—brings it alive.

To all—painters, strategists, or dice enthusiasts—welcome. Here’s to epic battles, heartfelt reunions, and lasting memories. Let’s make AdeptiCon 2025 unforgettable!

Note: This list is always under revision. If you don’t see your name where it should be, let us know and we will make sure you get credit where credit is due!
