Every year, nearly 3,000 visitors are attracted to the convention to celebrate Easter with traditional games in all their forms \u2013 role-playing games, board games, card games, miniature games, lairs and the like. GothCon takes place in central Gothenburg every Easter and anyone can visit the convention, although we recommend that our visitors under the age of 15 come accompanied by an adult. The convention is completely drug-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The convention is held at Hvitfeldtska Gymnasium and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vilka_gor_konventet\"><\/span>Who makes the convention?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The convention is organized by the GothCon Association. The association consists of a staff divided into different groups. The staff consists of about 40 people from all over the country who work with GothCon year-round, completely volunteering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also receive help from a large number of organizers who arrange various forms of games or other activities. In addition, we also receive a lot of help from our officials who help during the convention with everything from leading role-playing sessions to manning the reception. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gothcon.se\/en\/medverka\/funktionar\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.gothcon.se\/medverka\/funktionar\">Read more and register as an official!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A staff member is part of the GothCon staff, which is developed by the Board. They often have responsibility for a specific area of the convention. Anyone can join the staff, but it requires commitment and work both before, during and after the convention. Neither the staff nor the board receive any salary for their work with GothCon, but it is done on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter
