Gamecon: back with new 24-hour event

Gamecon 5 on Saturday November 13 is the latest in the series of
console, and bring your own PC, multiplayer gaming event. The IMI
conference centre in Sandyford is once again the venue. Registration
now opened.

The organisers posted on Boards.ie on Sunday, and sent out the news
by email this morning, tonight there was 62 reregistered, and 14
prepaid gamers. The number of attendees is set at 170 people – the same
as the last event.

An online prepay option with a five euro discount is being pushed,
“it is the only way to guarantee your seat”. Paying the full 35
euro at the door is an option, but they “will be running a first come
first served policy and you will have to turn up early to pick your
place”, according to the organisers email.

Voting on what games will be played in competitions is now tied into the registration process.

Gamecon recently expanded their already massive sponsorship line-up,

all of us as it means more prizes for you guys” stated the event’s
website.
