Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about advertising near Gen Con

Absolutely! Many exhibitors use billboards and airport ads to drive traffic to their booth with creative like 'Visit us at Booth #1234.' This pre-arrival awareness increases booth recognition and foot traffic. We can coordinate timing with your exhibit schedule.

The most effective placements for Gen Con are along routes from the airport to the convention center, near official conference hotels, and on streets surrounding the venue. Attendees see your ad multiple times throughout their stay.

We recommend booking 2-3 months in advance for major events like Gen Con. Premium ad placements near the venue — billboards, airport media, and transit ads — sell out quickly. For optimal placement, contact us as early as possible.

We offer a variety of outdoor advertising options near Gen Con including billboards, digital displays, airport advertising, transit ads, mobile billboards, and street-level posters. Our team will recommend the best media mix based on your goals and budget.

Yes! Digital displays can be programmed to run specifically during event dates and peak traffic times. For static billboards, the minimum is typically 4 weeks, but we can time your overall campaign to align with Gen Con for maximum relevance and impact.
