Summary

Attendence for various w:Gen Con conventions, from 1967-2008. The data is from the w:Gen Con and relies upon the citations given there. When a range is given, the smaller value is used. Note that the data comes from a variety of sources and is sometimes calculated in different ways, so values in comparison may not be equivalent measures.
