Official Dates and Location Revealed for NAIC 2023!

The official location and dates for the North American International Championships were revealed by Pokemon earlier today. The 2023 North American International Championships will take place between June 30th and July 2nd 2023 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. TCG, GO, VGC, and Unite will all be present at NAIC.

This year, NAIC will take place in halls A and B of the convention center, with a total of 216,000 sq. ft. available space. By comparison, last year, NAIC was held in halls C and D, which together have just 154,000 sq. ft. of space. The increase in space will hopefully help to allow a greater number of Pokemon players to participate in NAIC. Tournaments this year have continued to have attendance with record numbers, in spite of the increased cost to attend: the recent Orlando Regional Championships had 1485 players in the Masters Division of the Trading Card Game alone.
