We’re less than 4 weeks away from Gamers for Giving 2013! Since launching registration, we’ve made a number of updates and announcements regarding this year’s event. Below you’ll find a summary of things you can expect during the big weekend!
-
Registration: Tickets to participate in this year’s activities are limited. If you plan on attending Gamers for Giving, we recommend you move quickly to secure your place at the event by registering online. While we will be accepting registration onsite, pre-registering online is the only way to guarantee yourself a spot in the event.

Hotel: If roughing the weekend with a sleeping bag or inflatable mattress doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, the Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti Hotel has rooms available for an advanced purchase rate of $114.00 during the night of February 16th. The hotel is in close proximity to the venue (5 to 10 minute drive), and is conveniently located a half mile from I-94. A link to the hotel website can be found here.
