Welcome to Opticon

Opticon is a schedule optimizer for Gen Conevents. Browse events by type, host, or time slot, reserve specific sessions or mark alternatives as flexible, then let Opticon calculate the best non-conflicting schedule across all your choices.

Heads up: Opticon is a planning tool only — it does not register or reserve events on Gen Con's website. Once you've found a schedule you like, you still need to wishlist or purchase tickets through Gen Con yourself.

How it works

  1. Browse events and reserve specific sessions you must attend.
  2. Mark sessions you'd like but aren't committed to as flexible.
  3. Add personal blocks for meals, travel, or anything else and set your availability window.
  4. Hit Calculate — Opticon finds the top non-conflicting schedules.
  5. Review results in the calendar view and pick your favourite.
  6. Save up to five named reservations locally, or share them with others via a copy code.

Reservations are saved in this browser only — clearing browser data or switching devices will lose them. Use a copy code to move them.
