QuakeCon 2009 moves to Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, August 13-16
GRAPEVINE — QuakeCon 2009, id Software's annual celebration of its franchises and the fans thereof, will no longer take place at the usual Hilton Anatole in Dallas.
Instead, QuakeCon 2009, a free LAN fest-games event, will now occur at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine on the same dates, August 13-16.
"The Gaylord Texan is a perfect venue for QuakeCon and we're excited to have even more space and greater resources to deliver a bigger BYOC, better exhibitor area, and totally new events and entertainment for everyone that joins in the excitement," said id Software president Todd Hollenshead. "We know the magnitude of this announcement, but we haven't lost a step in planning for the biggest and best QuakeCon yet."
"The Gaylord Hotel was the site of the two largest previous QuakeCon events in 2004 and 2005," id noted in its announcement, adding that attendees will be able to net "exclusive looks at id Software's own anticipated games Wolfenstein and RAGE."
