List of Gaming Conventions - and Top Gaming Conventions
Scrolls down for a giant list of gaming conventions! OR if you're new to gaming conventions, check out our recommended gaming cons!
Go to gaming conventions! I just needed to get that out of the way. A trip to a gaming convention can be an absolutely glorious experience that I implore all nerds from all walks of life to give a chance at least once, no matter how introverted you may be. Cons are a great place to open up, meet new people, and play an insane quantity of games. This list is not definitive (see below for our giant list of other gamins cons, including activities like tabletop gaming, board games and gaming tournaments). I’m just a humble nerd giving my opinions and rankings, but you can bet every single convention on this list is worth its salt and your time.
#10 Breakoutcon
Location: Toronto, Canada
Size: 1,000-2,000
Started In: 2018
Main Draw: Casual hang-out gaming atmosphere
I’ve placed Breakoutcon at my #10 spot because it really exemplifies an ideal small gaming con. It started out extremely small and has been rapidly expanding. Breakoutcon is a place to relax with a bunch of new friends to play TTRPGs and board games. There’s very little pressure to buy stuff, very little hustle, it’s like your just there with your friends to play some games and it just so happens that there’s over a thousand of you. Small gaming cons like Breakoutcon are perfect if you’re more interested in just gaming, than in seeing the newest games as they roll out. If you’re not near Toronto, don’t worry! There’s a slew of similar small tabletop gaming cons around the world and there’s a good chance of finding one in your neck of the woods.
#9 Ropecon
Location: Helsinki, Finland
Size: 4,000
Started In: 1994
Main Draw: LARP and TTRPG fanatics
Ropecon has been going on for close to two decades and this proven con is filled with absolutely fanatical gamers. It hosts everything from beginner roleplay tutorials to fully costumed live action role play adventures. If you’re worried about a language barrier, Ropecon is breathtakingly multicultural, as most games can be played in both English and Finnish as well as a wide swath of other languages. It touts itself as a “non-commercial” convention, and you’ll find that reflected in its relatively tame vendor hall filled with mostly independent artists. If you’re a larper, or general role-play enthusiast, I highly recommend Ropecon as my destination con of choice.
#8 Gary con
Location: Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
Size: 2,200
Started In: 2008
Main Draw: Old-school gaming
Gary Con was started to honor the great Gary Gygax (creator of Dungeons and Dragons) when he passed away in 2008. The first Gary Con or what they now call “Gary Con 0” was held as a sort of impromptu event across many locations, the next year Gary’s son Luke Gygax made Gary Con official and it’s been growing and holding strong ever since. Gary Con has maintained its classic nerdy identity and it feels just like meeting your friends and playing a game on the kitchen countertop. If you’re in the Midwest, consider honoring the man who started it all with a visit to Gary Con.
#7 CMON Expo
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Size: Thousands/Undisclosed
Started In: 2013
Main Draw: Glorious miniatures everywhere!
CMON Expo (Cool Mini Or Not Expo) is a glorious celebration of all things tabletop. They have a emphasis on miniatures and you’ll usually find them demoing and showcasing new miniature games, wargames and extremely intricate TTRPG setups. Beautiful mini displays abound along with “The Crystal Brush” miniature painting competition. They’re also historically generous with grab-bags and free goodies so expect to leave the convention floor with a ton of cool swag. If you are at all interested in miniatures, painting, or high-grade tabletop gaming, give CMON Expo a look.
#6 Origins Game Fair
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Size: 20,000-21,000
Started In: 1975
Main Draw: Game prototypes and huge variety of panels
Origins Game Fair (so called because it sits where Avelon Hill got its start) is a massive celebration of the tabletop gaming industry. Publishers use this convention to demo and test their new prototypes and it’s a great place to pick up games on the cheap straight from the developers. It’s an absolutely massive convention that has stood the test of time. Its backed by some of the largest and most influential games companies and it never fails to have something new and interesting. The upcoming Origins Game Fair claims to have 6,000+ gaming events on the schedule, I guarantee you’ll find something that’s just right for you. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend giving the Origins Game Fair a try.
#5 UK Games Expo
Location: Birmingham, England
Size: 21,000-22,000
Started In: 2007
Main Draw: Big league tabletop gaming tournaments
If Breakoutcon exemplifies a casual or amateur atmosphere, UK Games Expo is the smart and slick professional. UK Games Expo hosts massive professional game tournaments along with a huge take and play game library. People come here to play games, pure and simple! Compared to other similarly sized cons, they maintain a particularly spacious free gaming table area and encourage pick-up gaming just as much as their dedicated tournaments. UK Games Expo also gives out awards to the publishers of new games for their showings each year so there’s a strong feeling of developers trying to prove their worth. It’s the perfect con for people who really want to spend a solid weekend gaming.
#4 Gen Con
Location: Indianapolis, Indiana
Size: 60,000-62,000
Started In: 1968
Main Draw: Magic the Gathering World Championships and Massive Size
Gen Con is big, and even more than that it FEELS big. Most of my exposure to Gen Con as been on the MTG side of things with countless side events and games surrounding the world championship. I also have a personal attachment to the EN World RPG awards that are held there (I’ve done a lot of work for EN World) so it’s biased but do check those out. They also host the “D&D Championship Series”, a long running series of adventures dating all the way back to 1977. Overall though, Gen Con has a lot less emphasis on free-gaming and much more emphasis on its massive vendor hall and the tournament events. Think of Gen Con as a ginormous swap-meet and gaming bazaar that you can also play games in.
#3 Dragon Con
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Size: 80,000+
Started In: 1987
Main Draw: Cosplay fanatics
Dragon Con has grown huge, and while it has some of the crowding problems systemic to all big cons, it’s also got some of the most passionate geeks you’ll ever meet. Dragon Con absorbed several smaller nerdy cons as it expanded and the resulting mishmash represents the full gamut of nerd culture. It hosts the second oldest robotics battling competition in the world, the Miss Klingon Empire Beauty Pageant, and the North American Science Fiction Convention. Everyone here loves what they do, whether they’re battling robots or applying makeup on-top of their Klingon cosplay. If you’re looking for cool cosplays and passionate people, give Dragon Con a chance.
#2 San Diego Comic Con
Location: San Diego, California
Size: 167,000-170,000
Started In: 1970
Main Draw: The biggest comic and pop-culture convention in the world
This is it, the big show, the iconic comic convention that everybody knows and talks about and looks forward to. First off, San Diego Comic Con is crowded and chaotic. There’s really no denying how intimidating over 100,000 people can be, and if you can’t deal with large crowds you need to give it a pass. This is the big time though, all the big announcements get made here, all the newest, coolest big releases get there shots here. I don’t recommend going to San Diego Comic Con every year, it’s a bit of an ordeal to attend. Cool events tend to fill up and you’ll likely get lost in the masses. I do recommend every nerd go at least once though, it’s an experience, a sort of rite of passage that every nerd should see.
#1 PAX
Locations: Seattle, Washington - Seattle, Washington (PAX West, PAX Dev)
Boston, Massachusetts (PAX East)
Melbourne, Victoria (PAX Australia)
San Antonio, Texas (PAX South)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PAX Unplugged)
Size: 70,000-80,000
Started In: 2004
Main Draw: Everything for gaming by gamers
PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) was created as a convention for gamers exclusively about gaming. It’s got a ton of locations all around the world and I think PAX is my #1 pick for literally everybody. It does get some of the crowding problems that plague comic con, but because they’ve dispersed so far, they’ve done a great job of keeping that problem under control. PAX has gotten a lot of attention for their indie video game releases, but it’s also a massive home for new tabletop games and gameplay. PAX is big enough to attract all the big names and big announcements, but it’s also got the right attitude and works to serve the fans. Developers have a chance to talk directly to their fanbase. If you ever have the opportunity, go to PAX, you won’t regret it.
