QuakeCon is one of our favorite events of the year at Shacknews and it is coming back to the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center on August 9-12. The organizers had previously announced that the BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) area wouild be twice the size. Sadly, we haven't head much about registration, until a tweet from the official QuakeCon Twitter account yesterday.

Looking forward: We've had to delay our registration announcement because we want it to be the experience you demand and deserve. Hang tight, we expect to have more details to announce soon!

QuakeCon attendees can make room reservations at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center by calling 1-817-778-2000 or going online to: https://aws.passkey.com/e/49568787. A special room rate of $185 per night is available when you reference QuakeCon 2018, but you still have to wait and see if you will be able to land one of the coveted BYOC spots. 

As always, keep it locked into Shacknews for all your QuakeCon news. We will be attending the event again this year and will keep our readers updated on QuakeCon 2018 registration news as it breaks.
