INDIANAPOLIS — Gen Con will be postponing its convention this year to September.
The announcement comes due to effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the convention will be rescheduled for Sept. 16-19 instead of its original plan of Aug. 5-8.
Gen Con plans to have a hybrid of both in-person and online opportunities for participants as their way of safely including the largest number of people in the Gen Con experience.
- In-person Gen Con: This year, there will be a capped attendance for participants as well as a modified format than in years prior.
- Gen Con online: Participants from home will be able to experience events through livestreaming and at local game stores through pop-up Gen Con retail activations.
