RinCon took place October 2–4, 2026.

RinCon took place at Casino Del Sol Conference Center in Tucson, Arizona.

Special guests were billed as Kenna Alexander (Coyote&Crow Games), James Ernest (Crab Fragment Labs / Cheapass Games), Michael Eskue (Council of Verona, Trash Pandas, Titan Dice), and members of the Magpie Games crew.

Family Game Days were scheduled from 10am to 10pm in the Junior Ballroom with suggested donations of $5 to $10.

Tabletop convention attendees usually wear casual clothes such as game-themed t-shirts, jeans or shorts, and some wear costumes, and Tucson in early October is warm enough for light breathable clothing.

It suits tabletop gamers and families who want a volunteer-run, community-scale convention, since it covered board games, RPGs and LARP, was billed as featuring designers from Cheapass Games, Magpie Games and Coyote&Crow Games, and ran Family Game Days with suggested donations. Those wanting a large industry trade show or heavy publisher exhibiting would get less from it, but free adjacent parking kept costs low for regulars in the Tucson area.
