How so? It shouldn't increase the amount of work you need to do during the convention - the only thing we don't do for independent GMs would be to secure rooms for them ahead of time or find roommates for them, but if you have a group of friends (or make an organized gaming group) it should be do-able.

I've got some questions about creating an Organization as an Event Organizer.

Last year my buddy and I created an organization to host our RPG games ("Nick & Nose World Tour"). This year I have found several like-minded GMs who I'd like to invite to the organization.

How do you add GMs to an organization? I don't see that I did this for my friend last year, and now that I have a few other people wanting to join, I don't want to screw up.

Second, the new folks have already submitted some events. How do we move them into my organization? Do they simply update the "Organization" field on the event? Would those events show up in my organization's dashboard? I submitted all events last year.

In short, you just need to have one person you nominate to be responsible for collecting and submitting all of the event details and they need to list the same group or company name in each event submission. They can then also request GM badges and assign those to member GMs as needed.

If anyone has already submitted stuff, just have them email events@gencon.com to request that the events be moved from one account to another, copying the person who is taking over responsibility for the submissions. They will just need to verify with us they want to receive the events and we can make the change.

The only events that will show up in your EO Dashboard at those you submitted yourself (or that were moved to your account), which is part of why it's important to have a single person submit everything.

Beyond that, make sure you're familiar with the Host page and Event Host Policy and you should be good. It's not a particularly formal process.
