Earlier this week Gen Con announced that attendees will be able to add their pronouns to their badges going forward.

Remember conventions? Pepperidge Farms does. But we’re not here to announce Milano Con 2022. We’re here to talk about Gen Con, who announced earlier this week that one of the new features for 2022 is the ability to add your pronouns to your Gen Con profile and printed on your badge as well.

New for 2022: Your pronouns can now be added to your Gen Con account profile and printed on your Gen Con Indy badge!

You are encouraged, but not required, to add your pronouns to your profile and badge. A blank option is available for those who do not wish to have their pronouns visible on their badge, and pronoun ribbons will still be available on-site at the convention.

In their announcement, Gen Con listed a variety of options:

Ask me my pronouns
He/Him
She/Her
They/Them
He/She/They

…as well as instructions for how to add them to your badge, which mostly involve editing your Gen Con profile page. However, if you want to add them to your badge you’ll have to do so before the convention.

The deadline to add or edit your pronouns for 2022 badges is June 17, 2022, as on-site convention staff won’t have access to change an attendee’s pronouns. After the deadline, the setting will lock for badges to be printed.

The announcement also outlined their 2022 health and safety policies for the coming convention. The upshot is all participants will be required to show proof of vaccination and remain masked in all indoor places. Though these policies may change as the ongoing pandemic changes.

Of course, as the pandemic changes we’ll all be in for a ride. But in the meantime, this is a good glimpse of how Gen Con is progressing. Interested in signing up? Badge Registration opens January 30th.

Gen Con 2022 is currently scheduled for Aug 4-7th 2022
