SCG CON Hartford 2026, the The World’s Premier Trading Card Games Convention, is back in Hartford, United States from 23 October 2026 to 25 October 2026, once again bringing the sector together in one place. Bringing together professionals, researchers and decision-makers, it has become an important meeting point for the field. Running every year, it has settled into a rhythm the sector plans its year around. Behind the event stands Star City Games, an organiser with a strong track record in the field. Doors open at Connecticut Convention Center, a space designed to keep large gatherings flowing smoothly.

There is a reason SCG CON Hartford 2026 calls Hartford home. The city offers the connectivity, venues and atmosphere that an event of this stature needs. Travel logistics are kind to visitors: Hartford is easy to reach by air and easy to get around once you arrive. Hartford's hotels span the full spectrum, so whether you want frills or just a good night's sleep, you are covered.

From fundamentals to the cutting edge, Trading Card, Trading Card Games, Collectible Cards and Games run through every part of the programme. Highlights include keynote presentations, hands-on workshops and live demonstrations. Structured matchmaking and informal meetups help attendees find the right people.

It is as much about the conversations in the hallways as the sessions on stage. SCG CON Hartford 2026 has become a dependable highlight for anyone looking to stay ahead in a fast-moving field, and this edition looks no different.

Rooms in Hartford get scarce as the dates approach, so securing a hotel near the venue sooner rather than later is the safer bet.
