This year's QuakeCon took forever to be finalized, and took place only a few weeks after being announced. Not looking to make the same mistake, the QuakeCon organization has just announced the 2007 event, and it will take place August 2-5, 2007 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, TX. You can already reserve a room at the hotel, registration for the BYOC area will happen next March.

This year's BYOC Area will consume the entire Trinity Hall 1, with over 70,000 square feet of floor space and 2,700 player spots - over 1,000 more seats than 2006. WeÂ’ve also increased the exhibit area 5X to 25,000 square feet, enough to accommodate up to 50 exhibitors demonstrating their latest games and computer hardware. Of course, it wouldnÂ’t be QuakeCon without our high-stakes pro gaming tournaments; and attendees can also look forward to the return and expansion of our enormously popular and one-of-a-kind "Quick Draw" tournaments, which pit randomly selected attendees against each other in high-pressure battles for serious cash. And in keeping with QuakeCon tradition, every day will be packed full of contests, conferences, announcements, and entertainment.
