Official Facebook account for Gen Con: The Home of Tabletop Gaming! July 30 -August 2, 2026 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.

✨ Meet the Gen Con Staff!

If you're a part of our event team, you know and love Erika Jackson (she/her), our Manager of People and Business Operations. Her favorite thing about Gen Con is the community. Erika shared the following story with us.

"My son attended his first Gen Con in 2025, and he talked to every single cosplayer. Every time, the person would take a moment and connect with him, with huge smiles, happy to answer questions. It was truly magical."

Erika's advice for a first-time Gen Con goer is to attend the destruction of Cardhalla on Saturday night. The energy of destruction is unmatched!
