Starting this a little late in 2022 so if you don’t see events from Jan and some of Feb, that’s why. Will be adding some convention adjacent events this year (and will be ignoring virtual events). This is a list of conventions relevant to what I cover here on Legion of Sand, if you don’t see an event listed here, it’s probably purposeful.
