Official Facebook account for Gen Con: The Home of Tabletop Gaming! August 1-4, 2024 In 2017, we celebrated our 50th convention!
Founded in 1968 in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin by Gary Gygax (Co-Creator of Dungeons & Dragons), Gen Con is the longest-running and best-attended convention for tabletop gaming in North America. For five decades, we've been gathering people around tables to play games. Our mission is to create the world's greatest place for tabletop gaming. We believe that tabletop gaming is important, as it brings peo
ple together in an increasingly divided society. Gen Con is the leading destination of tabletop gaming enthusiasts worldwide. In 2018, attendees visited Gen Con from more than 60 countries, every state in the US, and almost every province in Canada! Whether attendees want to participate in RPGs, board games, card games, cosplay, crafting, brewery tours, laser tag, or one of our 17,000 other events, the purpose of Gen Con is to delight gamers with an experience that rewards their loyalty for choosing Gen Con. For more information, or to purchase a badge to Gen Con, please visit www.gencon.com
