Your Guide to Gen Con: Everything You Need to Know

Be sure to like the video and subscribe! I do daily vlogs at Gen Con every year so check those out and enjoy the fun! 😄

This guy's has clearly gone to Gen Con several times and clearly it makes him very excited and happy. Such a great video and great energy to introduce people to what Gen Con is all about

Thanks for covering a lot of aspects that other videos don't -- very helpful!

So excited for Gen Con 2024! 🙌😁

This is our first GenCon, we got recommended your video at random. We subscribed! Hopefully we run into ya!

Nice video man, enjoyed the positivity!

Those going last minute or who lost bigly on their wishlists for events, be aware that the vast majority of seminar events will have no shows because they are free, and people will drop those if they feel too busy. So if you're interested in one, show up anyway. You'll most likely get in. And you don't even need a generic ticket. Just your badge. Don't let a seminar 'sell out' keep you away and missing out. Source: me - I've been running seminars at Gencon for about 10 years now, they almost always 'sell out' but attendance is typically about 75%.

Don’t forget the 3-2-1 convention rule. Every day you need at least: 3 hours of sleep 2 meals 1 bath/shower

I just posted your video in the Gencon Discord

Gen Con starts on Wednesday for me. Will Call for badges at noon and then pickup games all day with a break for food at the Block Party.

This is going to be our first year going and this video has been a big help! This is such an amazing video!

I'm buying one of those backpacks just to wear around you 😂

From someone who has never been to GenCon but lives with you. I feel like I’ve experienced it with this video. 😊

Awesome video! This is my fiance and i's first big convention. The tips were really helpful too, we appreciate it

To add..if you have mobility issues/disabilities, skip Will call and go to Guest services at the end of the Customer service row, they will send a runner for your tickets also get a wristband to not have to stand in line to get into events etc. They have chairs so you can sit while your tickets are fetched

A few minor notes I thought of while listening to the video: 4:43 Generally, you don't need electronic tickets up on your phone. They check/scan your badge for the ticket, not your phone. You can keep your phone in your pocket. 6:33 Starting this year, the trucks no longer rotate. The same trucks are going to be there from 9 am to 10pm, with a break in the middle for restocking. On the plus side, this does mean there's no longer a dead period mid-afternoon when all of the trucks are rotating in and out. 7:10 A bit late for this year, but Gate Ten parking has gone on sale considerably earlier than May in recent years. This year, they went on sale in mid-January. Just a note for next year.

8:32 So, wear flip flops and leave my water in the car. Got it 📝
