Gen Con Indy now probably Gen Con... um... somewhere At GenCon, we taped, but didn't post, a long coda to Peter Adkison's con-focused press conference. It was by a representative of the Indianapolis Convention Center, announcing the big plans to start expanding the center, virtually right after GenCon closed up. Well, apparently they aren't gonna be done by next year. Where might they head? If Indy's too small, Chicago's the only reasonable choice in the area, in which they've said they'll stay. That might change up the dates. (That's just speculation, you monkeys!) Interesting times. [UPDATE: Indy is the place in 2006; such is the official word in the comments.]

September 10, 2005 12:18 AM: Allan Sugarbaker says... There's a semi-official statement by someone from GenCon LLC on the Gen Con forums, stating the show *will* be in Indy in 2006: http://forums.gencon.com/default.aspx?f=20&m=110223&g=110232#m110232 Still, I think someone at GenCon LLC had better do some major spin management ASAP.
September 10, 2005 12:20 PM: Rennie Araucto says... There are no plans to move Gen Con from Indy in 2006. Rennie Araucto We've already issued a Press Release to counter any incorrect information.
September 10, 2005 12:37 PM: Dai Oni says... Darn. And I was hoping for GenCon Hawaii. :(
September 25, 2005 10:25 AM: Thomas Denmark says... If they want a world-class convention they should put it in a world-class city. Gen Con Chicago. td
September 27, 2005 12:38 AM: Dai Oni says... "World-class city"?
September 29, 2005 09:31 AM: Thomas Denmark says... Dai Oni - I'm with you on putting Gen Con in Hawaii, but Chicago is the nearest world-class city to the region they want to keep Gen Con in. Have you ever been there? What do you have against Chicago?
October 4, 2005 08:43 AM: Goob says... The only city that is "world-class" is San Francisco. GenCon SF, now we're talking!
October 12, 2005 11:00 AM: Dai Oni says... More like GenCon NoCal.
October 12, 2005 11:01 AM: Dai Oni says... I have nothing against Chicago. I'm just not convinced it is a world-class city as you... ...boasted. ;-)
