RetroWorld Expo is a Connecticut based organization founded in 2015 by a group of gamers dedicated to creating a convention that celebrates video games, tabletop gaming and pop culture over the past 40 years!

We feel that while gaming has changed throughout the years that the underlying community that exists is one that shares a common bond - a passion for the memories we have all shared growing up playing games. For that reason you can expect to find both classic games as well as modern gaming expressed throughout the show.

Our mission is to bring together the community to relive the history of gaming and celebrate the impact that it has had on our culture throughout the years through events, music, tournaments and guest speakers! We want to rekindle the memories that we all had as a child growing up playing games.

RWX is a convention for everyone who loves gaming to attend! We open our doors to people from all ages, races, nationalities to come together and share their passion for gaming.
