As of May 14th, the PEL is now available!
The word ‘Events’ is the overall term used to describe everything from Games, and
Painting Classes, Contests and Events, to the Military Seminar Series and the many Tournaments,
as well as other special events, at the convention. Events are arranged as sub-topics in
alphabetical order below. Clicking on any of the links below will take you either to a web
page or a PDF * file containing information on those particular events.

This year there are over 600 games in the PEL alone – plus seminars,
tournaments and painting events – over 50% more than in last year's
PEL over the same number of days!
Please Note:
That no new events (games, etc.) will be added to the PEL – the only updates will be for
canceled events or changes to event days/times (these updates will be listed as a separate PDF
* file) – exception being adding new special events for promotional purposes only. However,
there will be more events available at the convention, which will be listed in the onsite program.
Don’t wait, pre-register for your games now for the best chance to get a place at the table!
In fact, you’ll probably find that there is so much at HISTORICON that you probably won’t
get to do all that you want in the four days of Historical Miniatures Gaming's Biggest Summer Vacation!
Games, Games and more Games!
Clicking on any of the links below will take you to a PDF * file that contains
either the entire PEL or each day's events, in chronological order (if you do
not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, see note at bottom of this page). Note that the
PDF files are searchable, so you can find your favorite event, GM, or other
information, more quickly.

The Military Seminar Series
Since HISTORICON is the biggest convention with the largest
attendance, there's no better place for this convention highlight and proper
series of seminars on topics ranging from military and naval history to theme
related and miniature wargaming in general. Seminars are not available for
pre-registration – they are a first-come first-seated basis at the
convention – but for everyone’s planning purposes, click on the
link for a PDF * file containing the schedule of the
Military Seminar Series
being offered this year. [POC for all seminars, to answer any questions,
