GriffCon was specifically established in 2022 by Brendan Mills of Griffin Gaming to bridge the gap between online miniature gaming and painting influencers and their communities, while provide a safe and welcoming space for members to meet in real life. This is crucial as many tabletop gamers form strong bonds online but lack opportunities for face-to-face interaction.
The convention fosters a supportive network where experienced hobbyists and newcomers can interact, share advice, and build friendships. This is particularly valuable for those new to the hobby who might feel intimidated.

GriffCon includes miniature painting competition, providing a platform for painters to showcase their skills, receive recognition, and inspire others with their artistry.
The inclusion of the hobby lounge is a significant draw for miniature painters. This dedicated space allows attendees to bring their projects, set up, and paint alongside fellow enthusiasts. This shared environment fosters a sense of camaraderie and provides opportunities for spontaneous interaction and learning.
Workshops and panels often feature experienced painters who can share their expertise and answer questions, providing valuable learning opportunities.

Open Gaming Halls: Dedicated spaces with numerous tables provide attendees with the freedom to bring their own games, organize impromptu matches, and join in on existing games. This fosters a casual and social gaming environment where new connections can be forged over shared gameplay.
