I depart again for what will likely be my last convention of the season -- BlizzCon 2007. Blizzard hosts these BlizzCons every couple of years in Anaheim, admission is always expensive, and the goody bag is full of things that provide a decent return on eBay. BlizzCon is a two-day convention, taking place on Friday and Saturday at the Anaheim Convention Center.
One of the things that I had forgotten about Blizzard was their constant fear of leaked demos, and their FAQ about BlizzCon reflects this, particularly the rule about laptops at Blizzcon:
Can I bring my computer/laptop to BlizzCon?
Desktop computers, laptops, and electronic storage devices are not allowed in the BlizzCon exhibit halls. Please leave these devices in your car, at home, or at your hotel.
There's really no need to be quite that restrictive, except that Blizzard's pretty darn paranoid about their pre-release stuff winding up on a server somewhere.
BlizzCon 2007 Schedule of Events is filled with panels and competitions, and my focus will be on attending the panels and writing them up.
