SplatShops


 

No need to pre-register for these great splatshops!

Just pick out three or four titles you are interested in each day and head on over the Sheraton Koury Convention Center to participate. You can attend 2 splatshops per day but you should have a back up choice or two just in case your top choice is full. Each splatshop is offered at least twice, so if your first choice fills up during the first session, try again during the second session.
