GEN CON GOES AHEAD
As conventions slowly return to normality after the COVID-19 crisis saw the postponement of almost all of them in 2020, Gen Con will finally return on September 16th to 19th, with its usual mix of exhibitions, showcases, announcements and more.
The difference this year wasn’t just limited to masks, but also being split across three variations of Gen Con 2021, with Gen Con Indy, the in person convention at the Indiana Convention Centre in Indianapolis, Gen Con Online, offering livestreaming, discords, and general at home entertainment, and finally Pop Up Gen Con, which takes place at Friendly Local Game Stores with the support of publishers. Each of these events occurred concurrently, offering the feel of the event, without needing to be physically present.
