I am including my initial post on U-Con event registration below, along with the official message that was sent out to previous U-Con GMs. You can find both below. If you plan to run games at U-Con in November, please do not hesitate to register now.
Dear Gamemasters!
Event submission for U-Con 2016 is underway, and we need your events!
Please submit all of your events at: https://www.ucon-gaming.org/reg/gcs/gm/submit.php
Or you can email us at events2016@ucon-gaming.org with all the events
you have planned and we will add them to our schedule.
We ask all gamemasters to run 6+ hours of events. Also note that
running events for some of our special guests may allow access to
special events with those guests.
Guest of honor, industry insider, and special guest announcements are
underway. See them all as we announce them at https://www.ucon-gaming.org/program/guest-of-honor/
Pre-registration will open next month, so the earlier we receive your
events, the better your chances of getting your preferred times AND
the better your chances of having your events filled.
Thank you, and see you there!
Sincerely,
U-Con 2016 Staff
Well, this is a long over due post. I haven't posted in a solid 2 months. I'll talk about that another time. As for right now, it's time for an announcement.

It's announcement time folks! It's official. The OSR Track at U-con in Ypsilanti Michigan is set to go this year! I will, again, be filling the roll of OSR Track Coordinator. 2015 was a tremendous year for the track, and this year is shaping up to be even better! In the coming weeks (post Gen Con) I will be posting info for all of the "VIPs" that we have coming this year. This looks like it could be the biggest year for the track yet, and I'm looking forward to it. That said, we now have event submission open. You can submit your events (OSR or otherwise) right over at the event submission page. Make sure to list which track your game will run on (if it is an OSR game tag it with OSR, if it is a Board Game tag it with Board Game etc.) when submitting you events.

Special Request:
This year is the 40th Anniversary of Judges Guild! With that said, I would like to request that we run some classic JG products in the OSR Track. I myself will be running a "Hangin' In the City State" event along with one other Judges Guild module. In addition to that, I already have confirmation that Bill Webb will be in attendance and running a 20 player foray into Tegel Manor! Come help us celebrate Judge's Guild's 40th anniversary at the U-Con OSR Track.
