Gen Con 2012: The Best Four Days in Gaming


08/16/2012 through 08/19/2012 Indiana Convention Center & Lucas Oil Stadium
100 S. Capitol Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46225 | view on map
Event phone: 206-957-3814
Event web site: http://www.gencon.com/

Gen Con Indy is the original, longest running, best attended, gaming convention in the world. For nearly 40 years, Gen Con Indy has been setting the trend and breaking records. Last year, more than 26,000 unique attendees experienced Gen Con Indy.

The biggest complaint we hear is that there is simply too much to do, see and experience. Get lost in a phantasm of art exhibits. Stare at jaw-dropping costumes, or better yet, wear one of your own. Meet the movers and the shakers in the gaming industry. Check out the newest games and get a sneak peek at the latest editions.

And, of course, play your heart out with fellow enthusiasts in a community that understands your passion.
