(Click map to open digital PDF) Did you miss last week's exciting announcement? The Gen Con 50 Exhibit Hall map is live!



There are two ways to delve into the Gen Con 50 Exhibit Hall. The traditional way is to view the downloadable PDF document. Convenient to print and a handy web bookmark, this map is a great way to begin your Gen Con 50 planning. This map will reappear in the Gen Con 50 Program Book which will be in physical format at the convention, as well as through a condensed PDF approximately one week prior to the show on gencon.com.



Gen Con also has created another more robust method to explore the Exhibit Hall further via an Interactive Map. This map allows you to zoom and pan the Exhibit Hall as well as the rest of Gen Con space in Indianapolis. Clicking on a booth will show you which organizations occupy each space, and will give you links to their websites. This map also will allow you to search for specific exhibitors by name or location, via the search field in the upper left corner. Check out all-new exhibitors in Entrepreneur's Avenue and booths for the entire family in the Family Fun Pavilion.



Please note: the Exhibit Hall features 500+ companies, however, many other sponsors, event organizers, and partners await you throughout the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, Georgia Street, and at many hotels. Last Call to Vote on Official Beer Name (21+)
