Become a Founding Sponsor

WinterCon · a D&D & tabletop convention · January 2027 · Martin Event Center, Martin, TN

Why sponsor

We're bringing a weekend of Dungeons & Dragons, board games, tournaments, cosplay, and a makers market to Martin — 100–200 tabletop gamers in one room. They are exactly your customers: people who buy dice, minis, singles, rulebooks, and paint, and who look for a store to call home. Sponsoring puts your brand in front of them at their most engaged, supports a growing local community, and costs less than a typical month of ads.

Who you'll reach

A regional draw — Martin plus Union City, Fulton, Paris, Jackson, and Millington — anchored by the UT Martin student body. Repeat hobby buyers and event-goers, not one-time browsers.

Four ways to partner

Sponsor

Cash or in-kind, at the tier that fits.

Bring your DMs

Our single biggest need — every Dungeon Master you send seats ~5 more players. DMs run tables for a comped badge, meals, and swag.

Run your games

Host a Magic, Pokémon, or Warhammer tournament, or a board-game demo. Fills the room, needs only your judge, showcases your store.

Cross-promote

A flyer at your counter and a post to your community. In exchange, we drive new faces to your store.
