Bring Your Perspective and Passion to Tabletop Gaming

Gen Con wants to help gaming enthusiasts from historically underrepresented communities attend Gen Con Indy.

Our Participation Grants program awards awesome folxs to Gen Con Indy for whom attending has a material impact on their career, ambitions, or community of fellow gamers.

Help make The Best Four Days in Gaming™ even better by bringing your perspective and passion for tabletop gaming to Gen Con Indy. Learn about the latest games and trends to share with your gaming community back home or online. Participation Grants are awarded based on a submitted application and a review process.
