Brisbane Gaming Society
BGS
Formed in 2016 by a group of Brisbane based gamers with lofty ambitions and seemingly too much time on our hands; the BGS began with the concept of bringing back BrisCon.
BrisCon was once a stand out event in the gaming calendar and following a trip to Cancon we decided that if not us then who?
What we stand for
