Several times, starting last millennium. Always with some (often tabletop) game company or another, showing off a product. Origins as well!
It's been a few years since my last one, though.

My last Origins was in Baltimore in 1987 if I recall correctly. It might have been in '86 though. I've still got the program somewhere...

I was an official Stormbringer GM for Chaosium at that convention that year. It was a lot of fun!Steve Howe was voted "Best Overall Guitarist" in Guitar Player magazine five years in a row (1977–1981) and in 1981 was the first rock guitar player inducted into the Guitar Player Hall of Fame.

Similar here, but Judging Trading Card Games, so different room.
But the way, some of their rooms are bigger than a city block.

1980s
I went several times in the 80s when the "Gen" part actually meant something because it was in Lake Geneva.
I remembering getting an early copy of the Thieve's world RPG in a 3 ring notebook (my first gencon 1981) that I won in a drawing. The auction was really great with some very rare items and I don't think a single item sold for more than $10.
And lots of role playing. There was some boardgaming, but it was mostly rpg scenarios including playing unreleased products which was fun.
