Gen Con Indy is the original, longest running, best attended, gaming convention in the world. For over 40 years, Gen Con Indy has been setting the trend and breaking records. Last year, more than 28,000 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. Check out the newest games and get a sneak peek at the latest editions.
And, of course, play your heart out with fellow enthusiasts in a community that understands your passion. What you'll experience at Gen Con Indy is nothing short of IT. You know, whatever "It" is for you? This is IT! Get ready to get there.

The history of Fan Expo Canada begins in 1995 with the launch of the Canadian National Comic Book Expo which was not held in the spacious South Building at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, but at the impressive Roy Thompson Hall (where scenes of X-Men would later be filmed) that would accommodate the approximate 1,500 attendees. Back then, there were only five guests who included Bernie Wrightson and Bill Sienkiewicz.
Our fans make the Expo what it is today and to reflect its scope, the five genres; Comic, Anime, Science Fiction, Horror and Gaming, were re-branded and merged to become Fan Expo Canada. Today, Fan Expo Canada is the country’s biggest, the fastest growing and one of the largest events of its kind in World!
