The 1982 Annual Gathering of American Mensa, An Alternative Gathering, was held in Trenton, New Jersey at Trenton State College. It lasted from June 25 through June 27. There were 690 attendees. Dave Remine was the AG chairman.

As the "Alternative" label indicates, this AG was an attempt to do things differently than the usual AG style. Instead of a hotel, the venue was a college, with accommodations in dorm rooms. Most regard this experiment as a failure, as this AG drew the smallest crowd in years and there were complaints about the quality of the facilities. Being involved with this didn't seem to harm Remine's Mensa political career, however, as he eventually became chairman of American Mensa.
