What is MAGLabs?

MAGFest Laboratories, aka "MAGLabs," uplifts the MAGFest values of participation and experimentation, giving everyone the opportunity to create their own adventure! Building community through making, this event series gives attendees the opportunity to both learn from and participate in the endless creativity and passion of the gaming community.

MAGLabs has been on hiatus since 2018, but the event is currently being reimagined as a series of one-day events starting in 2025 that will include various workshops, games, musical guests, and more!

Get Involved

MAGLabs does not have a need for additional volunteers at this time, but this may change as the event continues to grow! If you have an idea and/or workshop to propose for future events, please feel free to reach out to the MAGLabs team at maglabs-relaunch@magfest.org.
