The first TFN:Mini-Con® officially gets underway, as our main hall opens to attendees. Whether it's our Guests, Traders, or the Forge that you're most keen to see, you'll find it all here!

As with our other conventions, we expect the first hour to be a busy period. If you'd prefer a more laid-back start to the day, feel free to socialise in the hotel bar until you're ready to enter the convention - there'll be plenty of TFNationals on hand to keep you company.
