1) Once the badge is bought online, how does it get to me?
You can have it mailed to you if you live in the USA. Otherwise, you can pick it up at the Will Call booth (just bring photo ID).

2)Do we need anything other then a badge to get in?
The badge gets you into the Con. In order to take part in events (SWM events or other ones), you will need to buy event tickets (most SWM events are $10-$15...to cover the cost of space and table rentals). You can buy them at the same time that you register for your badge. If it seems overwhelming right now to find all of the events you want, I think you'll have an easier time if you wait a few weeks. At some point on this site we should have a listing of the various events, costs, and code #s.

3) Will the SWM be spread out in booths and stands, or is there just 1 section for them?
If it's like it has been in the past 3 years that I've been there, all the SWM events will take place in the same place.

4) Is it true they pretty much have everything SWM?
I'm not really sure what you mean here. Are you asking if there will be a broad spectrum of events to try, then I say Absolutely, for sure! There will be
more than plenty of SWM to keep you busy, trust me!

5) What hours does the event run during those four days?
Each day, the first events usually start at 9:00 am, and the last ones finish as late as 10:00 pm or even midnight.

If you take the time to anwser, thanks.
You're welcome.
I hope you can come. I totally love it; it's always one of the main highlights of my year. Playing non-stop SWM, seeing my SWM friends in person (we really
do have the best community in gaming!), and getting almost no sleep because there's so much fun to be had...what could be better? Oh, I'd also suggest bringing some money to spend in the Dealer Hall, because there are lots of cool things to find there. I've also heard something else about Gencon, which I should warn you about: "There are two times to sleep at Gencon: before Gencon and after Gencon."
EDIT: Bill's suggestion is a good one. He posted it while I was typing mine, but I'll just leave it up anway.
