The Best Four Days in Gaming<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s true, BackerKit will be back at GenCon this year!<\/p>\n

Over a fifth of the 1,786 crowdfunding projects that have used BackerKit are tabletop games or cool tabletop gaming accessories<\/a>. We\u2019re using that as an excuse to attend the most fun week in Indianapolis that doesn\u2019t involve race cars or Andrew Luck\u2019s beard.<\/p>\n

Here are some ways to connect with us at GenCon 2016.<\/p>\n

Crowdfunding Panel<\/h2>\n

BackerKit will be moderating a crowdfunding panel<\/a> at 2pm on Friday, August 5 where we\u2019ll talk with five awesome game makers who have used crowdfunding to bring their projects to life. Come and hear their best tips and advice.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about crowdfunding your game, you don\u2019t want to miss this. It\u2019s totally free – register here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

First Exposure Playtest Hall<\/h2>\n

You can also find Team BackerKit at the First Exposure Playtest Hall. Come chat with us about your upcoming campaign, see a demo of how BackerKit works, give us feedback on features that you\u2019d love to see, or just say hello!<\/p>\n

Contact us<\/a> if you\u2019d like to schedule a time to meet. We\u2019ll also be available to talk the day before the show if you want to meet up before the madness begins.<\/p>\n

Not Attending GenCon?<\/h2>\n

If you won\u2019t be able to make it out to GenCon this year, but you have a project and would like to connect, please contact us<\/a> and we will be happy to schedule a time to chat.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
