It has general information as well as a Word file containing the pre-convention schedule. From personal experience, the number of events actually run will be at least doubled. There are always a few starship mini games run during the convention, and Geo-hex usually has a presence (KR usually shows up). Dragonflight is a general games convention, which means every genre has a significant presence with plenty of space. Miniatures and boardgames each have large rooms; RPGs take up a floor or two of dorm rooms; CCGs get half the cafeteria; computer games get the basement (which makes it the most comfortable place to be during Seattle's warmest month). The nice thing is that Dragonflight isn't TOO large (if I remember my numbers correctly it averages about 700+ attendees) so finding space in an event is usually fairly easy, but it's large enough to have a good variety. It's also a fairly cheap convention to go to, with a convention rate of $35-ish and cheap (if spartan) dorm rooms available. Even though I live in the city I rent a room.
