Gaelcon is Ireland’s largest gaming convention, and takes place over three days on the October bank holiday weekend. And by gaming, we don’t mean gambling or betting of any kind. Gaelcon is attended by people who play games for the sheer love of it. Card games, computer games, console games, board games, role playing games, strategy games… you name it, we play it. Created and run by the Irish Games Association (IGA), Gaelcon has run every year since 1989 and has gotten larger and more successful with each passing year. We attract an average of 450 attendees, from all over Ireland, the UK, Europe and America.
