The 2023 US Go Congress

Check out our 2022 USGC journey! English version | Chinese version

The U.S. Go Congress is the largest Go activity in North America. It happens once a year and spans about ten days. Events include the US Open, professional lectures and game analysis, continuous self-paired games, and all kinds of Go-related activities from morning to midnight. Come for the Go. Come for the camaraderie of old friends. Whatever your reason, we are looking forward to seeing you there!

This year, the Congress is being held at Kent State University about an hour south of Cleveland, Ohio. It's a large university campus with plenty of housing, food options, and amenities. The Congress will be taking over the entire Student Center for the week. There are many attractions and activities to do in the surrounding area, so it's an ideal summer vacation destination for players and non-players alike. The registration deadline is April 30, with a late fee required for later registration.

The NYIG team leaves New York on July 7th and returns to New York on July 16th for a total of 10 days and 9 nights. In addition to the choice of entering over 10 competitions to improve Go skills, there are endless activities to participate in every day. A rough schedule is provided below. If the parents cannot accompany interested youth players, or those who prefer to independently experience the 10-day, 9-night Go journey, please provide the form below to your NYIG teacher. The NYIG can lead the team to participate in the competition.
