Gen Con UK is back for 2007

Horsemen Events Ltd is proud to announce that Gen Con UK - The Best Four Days in Gaming! - will be returning to the games calendar at its new home, the University of Reading.

Running from Thursday 30 August until Sunday 2 September 2007, Gen Con UK will have an extensive programme of games and events including, industry guests, roleplaying games, card game tournaments, board games, computer games, and a huge trade hall.

"Gamers have wanted to return to campus based events for a number of years and the University of Reading was the obvious choice," says Mark Smith of Horsemen Events.

The University of Reading is centrally placed within England, just half an hour from London, with superb motorway, rail, and air connections. The site also has free car parking with local shopping facilities only a short distance, on foot, away.

The Gen Con brand has been with the gaming world for almost 40 years, beginning as a meeting between friends to play games in Lake Geneva, USA - thus the name Gen (Geneva) Con (Convention). Today that name lives on in the gaming industry as the place to go to get the goods. Gen Con has expanded to four shows worldwide. There are shows in Indianapolis (USA), California (USA), Paris (France), and the UK.

More details will be announced soon. Visit http://www.genconuk.com for regular updates and information.
