    I'm trying to find the listings for the past events the Round Table has been involved with.  But not having much luck.  I'm starting a Pop Culture Round Table for the New York Library Association, and would like to have some basis in "these are the kinds of events we could do".  Could someone point me toward some links that detail the various events since the beginning of the Round Table?  Wasn't there a cosplay event at some point?

    We haven't manually kept a list of past GameRT events, but in the Connect group, you can click on the calendar icon and view recent events. That will show you a list of everything that's been added to the GameRT calendar since the Connect group started in 2012. Most of what's listed there are events that were automatically added from the schedulers from past conferences, but you can click through to get more details.
