A gaming convention is a gathering centered around role- playing games, collectible card games, miniatures wargames, board games, video games, or other types of games. These conventions are typically two or three days long, and often held at either a university or in a convention center hotel. The largest gaming convention, Spiel, is a trade fair held in Essen, Germany that focuses on German-style board games and RPGs. A similarly large event is Festival Ludique International de Parthenay (FLIP), a games festival held over twelve days in France. While games are often a large part of science fiction conventions and other hobby conventions, gaming conventions are distinguished by focusing on games and game-industry guests. Gen Con is the largest gaming con in the US for RPGs, with 21,700 attendees over four days in 2005, while Origins is the largest gaming convention focused on miniatures wargames and live-action role playing games. DragonCon is an example of large convention that has a large gaming focus and a huge numbers of attendees, but isn't dedicated solely as a gaming convention.
