Being wargaming enthusiasts, I'm certain that it was with much glee that their official gathering would be henceforth known as GenCon, short for the "Geneva Convention." Thirty five years later, the mayor of the city of Milwaukee states his regret that his city was just not big enough to support the kind of room GenCon required. The first official convention was held a year later in 1968 in the Lake Geneva Horticultural Hall up in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin with 100 people attending. It started off in 1967 as a gathering of friends from Milwaukee and Chicago, wargame enthusiasts all, for a weekend of gaming at the home of Gary Gygax, creator of Dungeon&Dragons and Advanced Dungeons&Dragons. GenCon, “The Best Four Days of Gaming”, is one of the longest running game conventions in the world.
