Geekway to the West started in 2005 St. Louis in board game designer Jay Little’s basement. The first year, about fifteen people showed up to play games for a long weekend. This annual tradition had grown into selling out St. Charles Convention Center, as over 3,000 gather to play their favorite games. (See more details on our history and past conventions.)

Over time, as word has grown, Geekway has been featured in a variety of media.
