Gen Con UK Dead

StuartBall had been making enquiries about Gen Con UK 2010 with Adrian Swartout, CEO of Gen Con LLC and was surprised to receive the following reply:

“Peter and I had a long discussion recently and determined we will not be looking to solicit a license for a Gen Con UK show – or any other country for that matter. We felt the experience and people brought together by the group working on this project were our “dream team” for the event and if they aren’t able to pull it off, it’s unlikely anyone else would be able to. Having a licensed event start up and then stop is more damaging to the brand than beneficial so that being said we’re putting the Gen Con UK show to rest.”

There is a thread mourning it’s loss here.
