Gen Con LLC announced record attendance of 61,423 unique individuals for its 2015 show, with turnstile attendance of 197,695 over the four days of the show. That’s a 9% increase over last year’s attendance, with the increase primarily attributable to 4-Day and Family Fun Day badge sales, the company said.
The number of exhibitors topped 400 for the first time, and Gen Con Trade Day sold out its 500 available spots (see "Gen Con Retailer Trade Day Registrations Halted").
