"Unwrap Your Present Early..." declares the
QuakeCon Website,where they have posted first details about the next installment in the long-running LAN gathering (thanks Redwood). Scheduled for August 2-5, 2007 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, TX, they are promising "more gaming, events, exhibits and fun planned than ever before." The announcement says BYOC registration will open on March 2, 2007, but that hotel reservations with a special event rate are being accepted right now. Here's a bit:
This year’s BYOC Area will consume the entire Trinity Hall 1, with over 70,000 square feet of floor space and 2,700 player spots – over 1,000 more seats than 2006. We’ve also increased the exhibit area 5X to 25,000 square feet, enough to accommodate up to 50 exhibitors demonstrating their latest games and computer hardware. Of course, it wouldn’t be QuakeCon without our high-stakes pro gaming tournaments; and attendees can also look forward to the return and expansion of our enormously popular and one-of-a-kind “Quick Draw” tournaments, which pit randomly selected attendees against each other in high-pressure battles for serious cash. And in keeping with QuakeCon tradition, every day will be packed full of contests, conferences, announcements, and entertainment.
