| Origins International Game Expo is North America's second most
prominent annual gaming convention (Gen Con
is typically considered the largest). Origins is held every year in Columbus, Ohio, in late June or early July.
Origins is run by The Game Manufacturers
Association (GAMA) as one of their two shows for the adventure gaming industry. (The second show, GTS, is for game
manufacturers and retailers only.) Unlike Gen Con, Origins is specifically chartered
to serve adventure gaming
in general, including wargames and miniatures gaming, which tend to
be less well represented at Gen Con. Board games, trading card games, and role-playing games are also popular at Origins.
Origins is the site of the annual Origins Awards ceremony.
