Gen Con has announced the expansion of its family fun pavilion for its 45th annual convention in 2012.  An effort to provide appropriate entertainment for game playing parents who bring their children to Gen Con, the family fun pavilion began with six companies in 2010, but participation expanded to 16 game manufacturers and over three thousand of the 36,733 Gen Con unique attendees in 2011 (see “Gen Con Indy Sets New Attendance Records”).

 

A number of new exhibitors at this year’s Gen Con Indy made significant contributions to the family fun pavilion activities including Radio Disney, Out of the Box Publishing, and Spin Master, along with longtime Gen Con participants like Mayfair Games (see "Mayfair Ties Up With Gen Con").
