Registration for the annual U.S. Go Conference is now open! US Go Congress is also called the Go World Expo in North America. The number of participants can be as high as 500 every year, with various top Go players attending nation-wide. Due to the impact of the epidemic, both 2020 and 2021 USGCs were held online. After AGA overcame various difficulties, the 2022 Go Congress was finally decided to be held in person. The dates are 7/30-8/7, and the venue is in Estes Park, Colorado. The registration deadline is April 30, with a late fee required for later registration.

The NYIG team leaves New York on July 30 and returns to New York on August 7 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 Qiyuan can lead the team to participate in the competition. Please refer to the detailed schedule View: www.ny-go.org/usgc2022
