A retailer programming track will once again be provided in conjunction with Dragon-Con in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend.  This programming is co-sponsored by Dragon-Con and the Game and Comics Industry Network (sponsor of the Game Industry Forum on Delphi).  GCIN manager D.P. 'Vern' Vernazzarro is again the Director of STARS programming.

 

The programming will consist of educational seminars, open roundtables, manufacturer presentations and the Game Industry Forum Live.  Dave Wallace, owner of the Fantasy Shop chain in Missouri, returns as a very popular speaker.

 

The show will also feature the debut of the Retailer Resources booth with programming schedules, retailer identification ribbons for badges, Dave Wallace's retailer handbook, reference materials, supplies and information helpful to retailers.
