Gen Con™ is many things to many people. Gen Con™ is a trade show, a social gathering, and place to learn about the latest releases. It s a place to learn new games systems, and even to partake in fierce competitions and tournaments. Mostly though, Gen Con™ is about having FUN! Gen Con™ is a gaming convention which started in the USA approximately 40 years ago in Lake Geneva as a meeting between friends to play games. Today there are Gen Con™ events run throughout the world in Indianapolis (USA), California (USA), Paris (France), and the United Kingdom. Gen Con™ conventions attract over 100,000 attendees world wide, and play host to a large array of events including:

Anime
Art Shows
Board Games
Celebrity Appearances
Collectible Cards
Collectible Miniatures Games
Computer & Console Games
Costume Competitions
