Sponsors & Partners
The Seattle Retro Gaming Expo is all about supporting the community and giving gamers a place to connect.
In that vein, we have partnered with lots of local organizations to help bring all of the Puget Sound's local business together for you to see and try. We hope that through the sponsors, we are able to show you some of the awesome people, locations, and services in and around Seattle all while providing a location for you to meet other classic and retro gamers who live close by!
We are also committed to giving back to the community, and our partners are helping us do just that. We will be making donations to local charities, and we'll be giving you the opportunity to help out!
Can't wait to see you at the show!
