GPS HAS A NEW HOME!
In May, The Geek Partnership Society (GPS), CONvergence Events (CE) and Anime Twin Cities (ATC) all have a new home!
Located at the Waterbury Building on the Northwest corner of Broadway and Central in Minneapolis. The building has more than 10 times the space of the old office that CEI and GPS shared in St. Paul.
The actual address is:
1121 Jackson St NE, Suite 106
Minneapolis, MN 55413
There's some work that needs to be done before the space is completely functional, but, with our Partners, we'll soon have a space for everyone to enjoy!

GPS Community Forum
Monday, November 15 at 6:00 pm
A key part of our commitment to our community is simply to listen. Part of our effort to do so began last November, as a series of Community Forums designed to find out what our community is thinking in general, address questions in particular, and engage all and sundry about some of the issues facing the organization. Participation has been great, and we see more and more people every time.
REMEMBER: the next forum is Monday, November 15 at 6:00 pm!

BIG NEWS
The site is changing to reflect our new identity. We’re excited about that. The number of people volunteering to work with us is expanding to record levels. We’re honored and thrilled by that. The people who bring you CONvergence and AnimeDetour have pledged very substantial support to our mission. How substantial? Well…
We’re MOVING! Look for details soon about our new event and working space in Minneapolis. This will not only help us and our partners expand our programs, but create opportunities for you, for organizations we don’t yet work with, for all manner of Stuff To Happen. (Note our new address at the bottom of this page)
