BackerKit is back for another Gen Con! We can’t wait to dive into four days of tabletop gaming with the crowdfunding community.

Find us in Indianapolis July 30 – August 2, at Booth #363 in the exhibit hall. We’ll have demos, playtests, panels, and the return of our fan-favorite Crowdfunding Side Quest activity.

See you there. We can’t wait to connect in person again.

We’ve got a great spot in the Exhibit Hall this year at Booth #363, and we’d love to see you there in person.

There’s no better way to strategize and collaborate on your crowdfunding plans than face to face, so stop by, say hi, and tell us what you’re working on. Be sure to mark us on your map so you don’t miss us!

Ever wondered what it takes to get your idea funded, manufactured, and into the hands of board gamers? Join experts in crowdfunding (BackerKit), manufacturing (Panda Game Manufacturing), and fulfillment (Quartermaster Logistics) for tips and tricks on navigating the process successfully. We’ll wrap with a Q&A so attendees can ask specific questions about their own board game projects.
