Gen Con Indy is the original, longest running, best attended, gaming convention in the world. For over 40 years, Gen Con Indy has been setting the trend and breaking records. Last year, more than 28,000 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.

The Big Bad Boy of Gaming

I cannot say enough about Gencon. I have been going to Gencon for 7 years now and I have to say this is the event I look forward to.

It is Huge! Taking over the Indianapolis Convention center, as well as several hotels, this is the biggest Convention I go to.

Pro: Games Games everywhere! True Dungeon; Huge Dealers room (Event hall); Killer Panels (I have spent entire conventions going to their panels); Sky walk Air conditioned walkways to just about all parts of the convention.

Cons: It is so huge you will never be able to do it all; pricey ($65+ to get in, plus you have to buy tickets to get into the various games and other activities, Panels are mostly all free though); Parking (Expect to pay like $20 a day for parking, unless you don't mind walking several blocks)

The Pros on this one very out weigh the cons. It is a very fun experience. Also there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance of the convention, including a Mall food court.

I highly recommend Gencon.
