GenCon 2024 Recap

Epic Adventure

One of the things that I love every year about GenCon is the anticipation. Seeing the vendor hall slowly fill up with stuff, from carpets, to displays, to boxes and boxes of products. Fork lifts making there way down the crowded isles and the constant beeping of heavy machinery backing up.

It’s hot and sweaty and you are praying for the convention center to turn the air on in the hall, but you know that won’t happen until Thursday morning.

As the booths start to come together you start feeling that excitement build. What do we have new? Is this going to be a good space? Is it going to be a good show?

Making your way into the vendor hall Thursday morning is another treat. Walking past the crowds starting to build and line up 2 hours before the hall opens. You make your way inside and it actually looks like GenCon. Of course, there is always those few booths that wait until the last minute to set up. You watch them and wonder if they will be ready when the doors open.

It’s also a great time to make your way around the hall and find you friends from years past. Say hello and maybe take advantage of the exhibitor badge to snag a copy of your must have game before it sells out.

Five minutes before the doors open everyone is ready. You take that deep breath, double check everything and then….

All hell breaks loose.

I think that’s what I love most about GenCon.
