Quakecon

From Computer Club Wiki

QuakeCon is a free convention held every year in the Dallas, TX area. It is a huge LAN party dedicated to fans of id Software's games (i.e., Quake, Quake 2, and Quake III Arena, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Enemy Territory, and the DOOM series). It has been known to be the largest LAN party in the world, gathering gamers from around the world.

(from www.quakecon.org) There are workshops and roundtables where id Software employees discuss their games, technology, and their thoughts about the gaming industry. Other people and companies from the gaming community also participate in the workshops and roundtables while displaying their upcoming games and hardware. QuakeCon also hosts tournaments, large and small. Basically, it's an enormous LAN party with a lot of other stuff to do in-between deathmatching with people from all over the world!
