Conventions are a great way to try new games, meet new people, and have a great time! Here are the most popular tabletop conventions in the U.S.

1. Gen Con

Gen Con is the top tabletop gaming convention in the U.S. Held in Indianapolis, Indiana, it is the longest running and best attended convention for tabletop gaming in North America today, running for over 50 years. Its exhibit hall hosts hundreds of game manufacturers and publishers who not only sell their games directly to attendees but also demonstrate their games and premier new ones.

2. Origins Game Fair

Origins Game Fair is an annual tabletop gaming convention held in Columbus, Ohio. Featuring thousands of gaming events including open gaming, comedy shows, miniature painting, and more, this convention is sure to keep you busy. 

3. Winter Fantasy

Winter Fantasy is a tabletop gaming convention held in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Smaller than most conventions, it still contains good company, great games, and epic scenarios where dozens of tables full of players participate in a collective story. And it often features special events either not available elsewhere or with a limited release.
