This year’s QuakeCon is expected to draw more than 6,000 attendees from around the world. Todd Hollenshead, CEO, and John Carmack, Technical Director and co-founder of id Software take the stage Friday evening for a back-to-back press conference and keynote address where several major announcements will be made.

“We look forward to QuakeCon every year as an opportunity to have a great time partying and playing id games with our fans,” said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. “QuakeCon’s continuing popularity is a credit to the dedication of our volunteers and grass-roots support of sponsors and exhibitors; and the fans’ enthusiastic and passionate response to our big announcements is inspiring.”

Now in its twelfth year, QuakeCon continues to innovate in LAN party tournament action with all new gaming competitions. This year, the event organizers will host the first tournament using id Software’s new landmark game, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars. QuakeCon 2007 will also mark the debut of the first Quad Damage tournament spanning all four QUAKE games. The total QuakeCon Championship Tournament purse will be $100,000, courtesy of title sponsor NVIDIA.
