Last year, more than 36,000 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.

How To Submit Events [+]Submitting events for Gen Con Indy is a pretty simple process. You just need to use our online event submission form to send us the details for your event.
Once you have entered your event, it will be listed on after you sign in. You can also click on Event Submissions to get to your event list and review your events or check their status. If you are ever unsure whether your events have been reviewed yet or what location they were assigned, just check there. You can also now edit and update your events until they have been Accepted for Consideration. Here's a quick video giving an overview of the event submission form, along with some tips and advice. Event Review Cycles [+]Events will be reviewed and assigned locations in three Cycles during the event submission period. Events approved in a Cycle will be assigned a location before events submitted in subsequent cycles.
This means that premium, high-demand space and time slots will go very quickly and if you want to secure space in a certain room or have very specific requirements for your event, submit it as early as possible. As time slots fill up and space runs out, we will not be accepting events for that space or time slot, though you can resubmit your event for a different time. For more information on event placement and how the Cycles will be handled, please refer to the Event Host Policy. Further Questions?If you have any other questions, concerns, problems or issues, do not hesitate to email us at events@gencon.com, post in the GM forum, or call us directly at 206-957-3976 x3811 (just remember were on Pacific time).
