CTGA Express - Bus to Gamehole Con! 2026

The Chicago Tabletop Gaming Association is coordinating a charter bus to bring tabletop gaming enthusiasts from Chicago to Madison Wisconsin in time for GameholeCon 2026! This is our second time coordinating a charter bus to a large, regional convention—for Gen Con 2026 we brought 23 people down to Indianapolis (and back!) and now we have our sights set on Madison for GameHole Con! If you are interested in joining us, feel free to purchase a ticket (while seats last!) and join us for the ride! What's the proposed itinerary? Please ensure you arrive at the our designated pick-up locations on time as a show of respect to your fellow riders who are also paying for this service.
