Since a few of us are keeping our eyes open for this convention next year, I figured I'd start a thread for discussion / info / etc. Looks like the dates for 2021 are June 16-20. https://www.originsgamefair.com/future-dates

Good to know, I definitely think it's worth starting a thread.

UPDATE for Origins 2021 taken from the website:
Announcement:
Based on the hopeful news that COVID-19 vaccines are being distributed and reports from the CDC that community events and conventions should be able to resume later this year, we have made the decision to move this year’s Origins Game Fair from our usual June weekend to September 30 – October 3, 2021.
Safety is our primary concern, and we believe holding Origins later in the year provides the best path forward to have an in-person event this year.
We are working with other game convention organizers to develop guidelines for safe events, including, but not limited to:
Requiring Face Masks
Social Distancing
Temperature Checks
Hand Sanitizing Stations
In the interim, we encourage everyone to help fight the pandemic by wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, washing your hands, and getting the vaccine when you are able. Together we can work towards returning back to normal.
We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation and will provide updates as we get closer to the event. Exhibitor and sponsorship information will be available on February 16. If you have any questions, please email registration@gama.org.
Even if Origins is a GO this year, those dates kill it for me due to work requirements.

I'm not looking to attend a con until it's normal, i.e. without all the restrictions, requirements, and what-not. If that means waiting another year, meh, so be it.
