The QuakeCon Website has details on next year's installment in id Software's long-running gaming convention, saying the event will run August 13-16, 2009 in the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, TX. Online registration will begin at 9:30 pm EST on March 6, 2009, and as usual, participation in the BYOC, tournaments, exhibits, conferences, and all other events is free of charge. Though event registration is months off, registration for hotel rooms is already underway, and there's a special QuakeCon Reservation Page and the website also has instructions on how to get the special rate for the event if you make phone reservations. Here's the description, indicating Quake Live will be the feature attraction: "QuakeCon will once again host North America's largest BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) LAN party - with spots for nearly 3,000 gamers to hook their systems up and play on our world-class network. Of course, it wouldn't be QuakeCon without the drama and intensity of the big-money pro tournaments, featuring id Software's new free-to-play, web-based multiplayer game QUAKE LIVE. QuakeCon also offers non-stop fun and entertainment for those that don't bring their own computer. The world's leading gaming and technology companies will be on hand to demonstrate their latest hardware and software in the 35,000 square foot exhibit hall, and every day of QuakeCon is packed with contests, entertainment, announcements, panel discussions, and parties."
