"Gen Con has always an absolute blast and easily the best part is getting to meet so many fantastic folks who have gaming in their blood," says F. Wesley Schneider. "This year, as a Gen Con Industry Insider, my panels have me talking more than ever before, but more importantly it's giving me the chance to meet gamers I've never interacted with, hear their perspectives, and learn what they want in the games they play. I'm absolutely honored by the opportunity to speak, but what's more exciting is the chance to listen." Gen Con's Industry Insider program is a curated program based around all things gaming related. The program consists of seminars and panels suggested and hosted by this year's Industry Insiders. Topics vary and are as diverse as the Featured Presenters themselves.
