[[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
