MAGFest, the Music and Gaming Festival, returned to the Gaylord National Habror Resort and Convention Center for the flagship event, from January 4-7, 2018. The show was jam-packed with plenty of events, including concerts, panels, and a wild schedule of video game tournaments. Attendees could also take advantage of two absolutely enormous video game rooms – one dedicated to consoles, the other to arcade cabinets – which were open 24/7 for the length of the show. MAGFest runs other events around the country throughout the year, such as MAGLabs, BitGen GamerFest, and MAGWest.
