Introducing Trade Day Marketplace

A New B2B Opportunity Connecting Retailers, Educators and Librarians with Publishers and Industry Professionals

Gen Con is pleased to announce an exciting new initiative to our 2023 Trade Day programming: Trade Day Marketplace.

The Trade Day Marketplace is designed for game publishers, manufacturers, and distributors to showcase products for classrooms, libraries, and retail stores. Educators and librarians will have the opportunity to be one of the first to discover these new products, and industry professionals will be able to meet one-on-one with business representatives. 

Want to learn more about participating in the Trade Day Marketplace? Please visit our website.

Applications for the Trade Day Marketplace close on Monday, March 6.

What is Trade Day?

Trade Day is a program for educators, professors, graduate students, librarians, and retailers. It is designed to provide hands-on training, share research, B2B and network opportunities, and participate in professional development opportunities through a day of seminars, demonstrations, and events.

Trade Day is split between two focuses: retailers, and educators and librarians. The retailer focus is on business, marketing, and building community. The educators and librarian focus is on how to gamify your classroom/library, gaming strategies in curriculum, and building community.

Trade Day badge holders can attend all events regardless of the focus; something can always be gleaned from a different perspective.

Trade Day is held on Wednesday, August 2, 2023.
