Tabletop Vacations and Hasbro ready two-day D&D Dungeon Master University symposium

Tabletop Vacations has teamed up with Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast to launch a Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master University.

The two-day symposium aims to help D&D players to become ‘confident, creative, career-ready Dungeon Masters.’

The first event will be hosted at Atlanta’s Oglethorpe University in January 2026 and will focus on four tracks: Skill Building, Campaign Building, World Building and Career Building.

“Dungeon Master University is more than a workshop – it’s a chance to level up your storytelling, whether you’re a veteran DM or taking your first go behind the screen,” said Greg Bilsland, Executive Producer for Dungeons & Dragons at Wizards of the Coast.

“DMing is one of the most creative and rewarding ways to engage with D&D, and DMU gives you tools, the community, and the inspiration to grow your skills. We’re proud to support that journey alongside Tabletop Vacations.”

Tara Rout, Co-Founder of Tabletop Vacations, added: “For years, we’ve brought unforgettable D&D experiences to castles across Europe. DMU is the next evolution – an intensive, high-quality symposium crafted to build mastery and community among aspiring DMs.”
