Here comes Quakecon!

The greatest lan event on the planet has announced its 2007 unprecedently early! Not that the date itself is any earlier but Quakecon does appear to be geared up to blow our minds once again. Whether it was iNfensus versus cK in 2002, GMPO versus Affliction in 2003, Idle versus u5 in 2005 or Crossfire versus KiH in 2006, Quakecon has always warmed the hearts of mp40 bearing souls.

That’s right! It may be winter outside, but it’s time to start planning that summer vacation to the ultimate multiplayer gaming event and party – QuakeCon 2007. We’re locked and loaded for August 2-5, 2007 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, TX, and we’ve got more gaming, events, exhibits and fun planned than ever before.

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.

The Hilton Anatole was a hugely popular venue with the players last event in comparisson to the Gaylord ranch, its location is right along the same street as many other hotels and just 5 minutes taxi from downtown Dallas.
