As for your plans for Gen Con 2019, well, maybe you've already been prepping as well, but to help you out in those plans — or to give you an initiating boot — I've now published BGG's Gen Con 2019 Preview, which is launching with 170+ titles and which will undoubtedly surpass the 625 titles on our Gen Con 2018 Preview given the general trends of the industry these days as well as the number of publishers who are scheduled to appear at Gen Con for the first time.
With that in mind, if you are a publisher or designer who will have a new game for sale at Gen Con 2019 or who will be demoing a game that's scheduled for release within the next twelve months, and you haven't yet received an RFI letter from me asking for details of your offerings, please email me or Geekmail me, and I'll send that letter to you. Don't wait too long because Gen Con 2019 will be here before you know it!
