Last year, Gen Con offered more than 11,000 gaming, educational, crafting, and entertainment events. This year, Gen Con hopes to provide even more opportunities for talented event organizers and GMs. Given the surge in events, we recommend submitting your events early to increase the chances of ideal location placement, event timing, and inclusion in Gen Con’s marketing materials, including the Gen Con 2014 Program Book.
To submit your event proposal, click here. (Sign-up/Log-in is required.)
Important Note: the Event Host Policy has been updated for 2014. This is the master document that explains just about everything you need to know about running all events at Gen Con, so make sure to review it before submitting. If you have any questions after reading the document, you can send the Events team your questions directly. To contact them, please email events@gencon.com.
Badge Pre-Registration is just around the corner!
In a little more than two weeks (January 26), badge Pre-Registration will begin. During Pre-Reg, you can purchase your Gen Con badge, which will allow you to book rooms in Gen Con’s Housing Block (beginning on January 28, while supplies last) and sign-up for Events prior to the August 2014 show. Also, those that purchase badges during Pre-Registration will save $10 off of the price of most badges. US attendees also can opt to receive their badges prior to the show through home delivery.
This year, Gen Con has decided to consolidate shipping options for 2014 badge fulfillment to better streamline the process and provide additional service to attendees.
In 2014, Gen Con will switch all badge fulfillment options to USPS Priority Mail. This new delivery option will provide attendees with 3-5 day shipping for a flat rate of $10. Perhaps most importantly, this new shipping option will include FREE Tracking and Signature Confirmation on every shipment. With previous shipping options, Gen Con was not able to guarantee 100% security once the packages left the Gen Con offices, but now, the our team can through USPS tracking!
Should USPS determine that your package was lost, destroyed, or not delivered, Gen Con will replace your items at no cost to you.
Additionally, this new shipping option will allow Gen Con to ship directly to PO Boxes and addresses not covered by previous shipping methods, which will increase the delivery range for Gen Con fans.
Have questions on the new shipping process? Please email Gen Con’s Customer Service team. You can click here to send them an email.
Before signing up for your 2014 badge, you can save yourself time by updating your personal information at gencon.com. If your address, phone, or email changed this year, you will want to update it prior to badge registration. Thanks for your support!
