Gen Con is a very celebrity-lite convention. It's pretty much the official Wizards of the Coast (D&D/Magic The Gathering) and Mayfair games (Settlers of Catan) convention, so there's a lot of that mixed with other brands and indie games. They'll have one or two celebrities. We've seen, but not talked to, Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig, but got to meet Wil Wheaton (who now just goes to hang out).

We've also been to Adventure Con in Knoxville, TN. It's a tiny convention. There are almost more celebrities than there are booths. It's a big space, but only about half the area has booths and only half of the booths are rented out. In 2006 we met Adam Baldwin and in 2012 we met Alan Tudyk, which I suppose makes it our personal Firefly Con.
