[[BlizzCon]] är namnet på #Blizzards försök att konkurrera med tunga företagsmässor som #id Softwares [[QuakeCon]]. Evenemanget föddes för två år sedan och i ett pressutskick tillkännager de vad årets evenemang, som är det andra i ordningen, kommer erbjuda. BlizzCon 2007 hålls i Anaheim Convention Center, Kalifornien, den 3-4 augusti och förutom diverse Blizzard-spel kommer det förhoppningsvis bjudas på ett eller annat avslöjande om framtiden.

BlizzCon will be open to gamers age 4 and older and will offer a wide variety of activities to help all attendees get the most out of the two?day event. In addition to serving as a gathering place for the different Blizzard gaming communities, attendees will be able to enjoy:

  • Discussion panels with Blizzard developers

  • Artist and developer signings

  • Competitive and casual tournaments for players to showcase their talents

  • World of Warcraft® Trading Card Game tournaments and demos

  • Costume, machinima, and character sound-alike contests with great prizes

  • Commemorative merchandise and other products based on the Blizzard franchises

  • A silent auction

  • Live orchestral performances of music from Blizzard games

  • More exciting activities to be announced

Tickets for BlizzCon will go on sale in the next few months at a price of $100 USD per person. As the event draws closer, further details will be announced on the official BlizzCon website: www.blizzcon.com.
