LAS VEGAS (August 3rd, 2010) — Known for bringing cutting edge new media to social games, NeonCon is proud to partner with Gen Con, Pixel Corps, LiveStream and LiveU to bring you Gen Con Live … streaming video updates from the floor of Gen Con 2010. Using technology provided by the Pixel Corps and LiveU, Team NeonCon will be on the floor covering Gen Con 2010 from every angle.

For the first time ever, worldwide viewers will be able to participate in the Gen Con Indy in real-time. Co-hosts Doug Daulton and Juliet Meyer will cover all the action from the opening ceremonies on Thursday to the close of the Exhibit Hall on Sunday evening. Along the way, you'll meet your favorite game designers, publishers and other special guests from across the industry.

"Since the early days in Milwaukee, Gen Con has a long tradition of excellence. And, there are no better fans. After covering NAB, CineGear and Siggraph with the Pixel Corps, I knew we had to bring this technology to Gen Con. When I mentioned it to Scott Elliot, he got it immediately, which is one of the reasons we are proud to have Gen Con as a partner." — Doug Daulton, NeonCon

Gen Con Live will be streamed simultaneously on www.neoncon.com, www.gencon.com, www.livestream.com and infrno.net.

Online publishers will be able to embed the Livestream video player along with its social media tools on their sites and make the webcast available to their communities.

Gen Con is about connecting gamers. People come from all over the world to play games here in Indianapolis and to meet their heroes: game designers, writers, publishers and world champion game players. We are excited to have a strong partner in NeonCon, who can help to extend the reach of the Gen Con Indy experience to people who could not attend this year." — Scott Elliott, Gen Con LLC
