Gen Con reports that it attracted over 50,000 attendees this year. While that's not quite back to pre-pandemic figures (2018 saw over 60,000 attendees, and 2019 had 'nearly 70K'), it's a big step back towards it.
By comparison, UK Games Expo had just over 23K attendees, while Origins Game Fair reported just under 12K this year.
