* Events are subject to change without notice, although we’ll try as hard as possible to ensure they’re as advertised. Tickets must be purchased in advance and will not be available at the door. Because of venue restrictions, tickets are limited in number. To ensure your place at Firaxicon, book your ticket now! Looking for lodging at the venue? Well, you can't sleep inside the Baltimore Convention Center (trust us, we asked) so read on for details on nearby hotels! FAQs The Basics What is Firaxicon? Since being founded in 1996, Firaxis Games has produced many strategy game titles and gained millions of fans around the world. Firaxis and 2K would like to celebrate and thank our fans for years of dedication and support, give them a chance to meet the team and learn more about our games – and so Firaxicon was born. Where is Firaxicon taking place? Firaxicon is happening at the Baltimore Convention Center in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. Hosting the event in downtown Baltimore makes Firaxicon 2015 more amenable to travel and provides numerous dining and lodging options for those traveling from out of town. Also, the BCC is easily reachable via numerous public transportation options. (More on that below.) When is Firaxicon happening? Firaxicon will officially take place on Saturday, October 3, 2015 starting at 10am and ends that evening at 7pm. When should I arrive or depart so I don't miss anything? Firaxicon 2015 doesn't "officially" start until 10am, but registration will be open an hour prior, at 9am. We don't want anyone to miss out on a single second of Firaxicon 2015, so we've added this extra hour for attendees to arrive early and register before the show even starts. Official events end on Saturday night, but you're more than welcome to stay in Baltimore as long as you'd like before, or after, Firaxicon 2015. Why isn't Firaxicon happening at Firaxis Games itself? There simply isn't enough space for everyone. Plus, the Mechtoid that patrols the office doesn't like strangers, so for your own safety we thought it best to host the event downtown. Are there ID requirements or an age limit for Firaxicon? There is no age limit to attend Firaxicon, but for legal reasons all minors (under 18) must be accompanied by an adult. We will accommodate young children as best we can wherever possible.

The Venue How do I get to Firaxicon? Firaxicon is happening at the Baltimore Convention Center in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. (Find it on Google Maps right here.) The Baltimore Convention Center is easily reached from BWI airport either by car, taxi or public transit. By car: From BWI Airport: Take I-95 W towards MD-295 N to Baltimore-Washington Pkwy/Russell St in Baltimore. Continue on Baltimore-Washington Pkwy. Drive to W Pratt St. BCC will be on the right. From I-83 North: Take I-83 S towards Baltimore, Maryland. Follow signs toward Baltimore, Maryland. Then take E Lombard St to W Pratt St. BCC will be on the right.



Address for GPS/directions: 1 West Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 By light rail: From BWI Airport, you may take the light rail service towards Baltimore, Maryland ($1.60 each way). Trains run Monday to Saturday, every 30 minutes. Exit at the Pratt Street Light Rail Station, then the BCC is a 2 minute walk to the east. More information on the light rail service is here. What are my parking options at the venue? Several parking garages are near the BCC. Hotels also offer valet services and parking options are varying costs. If you are staying overnight, call ahead and ask about your hotels rates. Will you provide food for attendees? What food options are there nearby? Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide food for Firaxicon 2015 attendees; however, the BCC is near several top-notch dining establishments. Baltimore, Maryland is also home to many dining options running the gamut from cheap foodstuffs to five-star establishments. We'd suggest doing a quick bit of Googling prior to arrival, just to get a sense for what's around. Packing your own meal(s) is also an option. What hotels are near the venue?

We'll be announcing more details of all the panels in the weeks ahead. Will Sid Meier be present at Firaxicon? Yes! Sid will be present, and will attend Firaxicon 2015 on Saturday, October 3.

You can even take video, if you'd so please. We just want you to have fun! I can't make it! Is there any way I can get involved online?
