Attendee Registration
Attendee Registration is in two phases.
Phase 1 - Badge sales opened Friday, Sep. 26th @ 7:00pm Eastern.
Phase 2 - Event Tickets became available on Friday, Oct. 16th @ 7:00pm Eastern.
This two phase approach allows us to:
- deal with any Badge issues, and
- ensure that all complimentary badges (e.g., game hosts, volunteers, etc.) are in the system
BEFORE everyone starts signing up for Events.
To get HMGS Member pricing you MUST access Badge sales via the FI26 Member Badges page on the HMGS User Portal, so that we can verify your Membership.
For non-Member Badge sales, there is a "Get/View Your Badge" item in the "Attend" dropdown menu (above).
Youth (18 & under) and Non-Playing Partner badges can only be added to a paid (or complimentary) Badge, so the links to add those are in the "Badge Verified" confirmation email you will receive after purchasing your Badge.
We've created a short overview on How to Register for Badges & Tickets. You MUST complete the Check Out process when purchasing a Badge, or when adding Tickets to your Badge. If you only add items to your Cart, they will disappear after 2 hours. There is also a page of TTE usage tips here, with a focus on using the Event Schedule's functions.
Merchandise
The Fall In! 2026 t-shirts are available in the "HMGS Collection" at TR Historicals.
Pre-orders close on October 1, 2026, with the option for pick-up at the show or shipping before the show ($ - with anticipated delivery in mid-to-late October).
Check out the other HMGS and TR Historical merchandise while you're there.
Event Submission
Submission of Events (e.g., games, seminars, etc.) opened Aug. 21st. The deadlines for submissions to be eligible for a complimentary Badge and inclusion in the Convention Program is Oct. 4th.
Events (e.g., games, seminars, classes, tournaments, etc.) that have been placed on the schedule can be viewed by clicking the "Events Schedule" item on the dropdown menu under "Attend" - all events submitted by the Oct. 4th deadline and Approved will be Scheduled before Event Ticket sales opens in October.
In the Schedule of Events, you can hover over the "i" to get the first few words of the session description, or click on the session "Name" to bring up the full details of the session.
Approved - but un-Scheduled - Events are only visible to the Event Host and the administrators.
