Gen Con Indy 2010 – August 5-8

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.

And, of course, play your heart out with fellow enthusiasts in a community that understands your passion. What you’ll experience at Gen Con Indy is nothing short of IT. You know, whatever “It” is for you? This is IT! Get ready to get there.

Looking ahead, I thought I should give you a heads up on my Gencon Schedule as it stands now. Since I’m anticipating announcing our deal in July, Gencon would be a logical place to promote and talk about our work together.

I will be operating primarily out of booth #1921 with Howard Tayler in conjunction with our XDM game product.

Thursday, August 5^th:

We have no scheduled events on Thursday, leaving this day primarily open for meetings and time in the booth. Come meet Laura and I both in booth #1921 off and on throughout this day.
