Irvine, CA (July 11, 2005) - Blizzard today released further
details on BlizzCon.
From Blizzard:
Set to take place on October 28 and 29 at the Anaheim Convention Center in
Anaheim, California, BlizzCon will celebrate Blizzard’s games and the players
who have made them so popular around the world. BlizzCon will be open to gamers
of all ages and will provide a wide variety of activities for attendees to

would have been possible without our players,” said Mike Morhaime, president and

us to meet some of those players face to face and to celebrate the Warcraft,
Diablo, and StarCraft universes together with them.”
At BlizzCon, gamers will be able to attend numerous events, play Blizzard
games live with other members of the gaming community, and try out StarCraft:
Ghost, Blizzard’s highly anticipated tactical-action console title. Other
BlizzCon activities will include:
Q&A panels with the World of Warcraft and StarCraft: Ghost developers
BlizzCon Invitational Tournament featuring top Warcraft III and StarCraft
professional gamers from around the world
A separate LAN area stocked with PCs loaded with Blizzard games
Contests in which die-hard gamers can compete for great prizes
Custom BlizzCon merchandise in the BlizzCon store
A special closing-night concert featuring a to-be-announced band
