Game events have not just been those that teenagers go to and see all the flashy booths that advertise their favorite games. Game events have historically been a multi-faceted part of the game industry that composes events ranging from the professional to the very leisurely.
Some of the events have often been more of a mix between the specific categories with conferences and conventions being the most common mix.
