Event Details at a Glance
| Detail | Information |

| Dates | November 12–15, 2026 |
| Venue | Union Depot |

Why the Location Matters
Union Depot is a historic transit hub in downtown Saint Paul, which makes the venue reachable by regional rail and local transit in addition to car. For anyone flying in, the Twin Cities metro area is the relevant search target for flights and hotels rather than Saint Paul alone.
Checking the Dates Yourself
The official site, 18north.games, runs a countdown timer to the event ("Departing in 00 Days 00 Hrs 00 Min 00 Sec"), so you can confirm the current time remaining before the convention starts. The same page lists 2026 tickets and merchandise, plus sponsor links including Astrisk Games, Allplay, Cube4Me, GMT Games, Lonny Games, Grand Trunk Games, 18DSM, TraXX, and Ruben's Mini-Chips.
Practical Takeaways
- Book around Nov 12–15, 2026 — the convention spans four days, so decide whether you need lodging for the full run or partial days.
- Target Saint Paul, MN for the venue itself, and the broader Twin Cities for airports and hotels.
- Verify before committing — check 18north.games for ticket availability and any schedule updates, since the countdown and ticket links are the site's live signals.
