JUNE 23rd-27th, 2010

In whispered words of legend,
In muttered tones of awe...

The Expo Icrontic is the biggest Icrontic event of the year.

It's the reason our community's members save up their vacation time. People arrive from near and far, from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and beyond.

If you want to truly become an Icrontian, there is no better fast track than making an appearance at the "Woodstock" of Icrontic events: EXPO 2010.

The Food Tour, Duct Tape Challenge, Boardgaming, LAN tent, and Daybreak Golf (bring clubs!) will return, and we have several more fun events planned. Expect plenty of card-flopping as well. There will be tournaments for Team Fortress 2, Shattered Horizon, and Left 4 Dead 2.

Door prizes will be plenty, and tickets will be awarded for participation in sanctioned gaming tournaments and other events.

Sponsors include: Steelseries, Sumo Lounge Furniture, LiquidWeb, AMD, NZXT, EA Games, ECS, Sapphire, Shuttle, OCZ Technology, Gigabyte, and Paradox Games. A full list of sponsors and prizes can be found here.

The Event Schedule has been posted as well.

NEW THIS YEAR:
  • A second port-a-potty
  • Reduced ticket prices for early-bird registrations and those staying in hotels
  • more, more more

Buy your tickets before May 1st to get early-bird pricing.

The Icrontic Promiseâ„¢: You will have the time of your life.

    FFFFUUUUUU. If I have a job by then I probably won't be able to take it off, if I don't have a job by then I'm in a lot of trouble. Hmm, need to get creative.

    Also, Koreish, make your next post count! :rockon:

    I really want to go. I just checked flight prices and it's $325 from houston to detroit, which is doable. The only thing now is I'll be interning and depending on my supervisor I don't know if I'll be able to take off. And I'd have to brush up on my gaming, because I'm pretty poor.

    Forget video gaming, there's so much else going on at EPIC. I stopped gaming two years ago.

    I just brought my Netbook last year, and I borrowed an unused PC to play in the UT2K3 tourney. It is an EXPO, not a LAN, after all.

    I can't recommend this event highly enough to anyone considering the worth. This event is what I look forward to the most each year, (sharing that spot with SIGGRAPH of course).

    I cannot WAIT.

    This will be interesting, I'm going to be flying to this event. I'll have to figure out if I'm flying to the D, or flying to South Bend to ride with whoever in my area goes - Bindle, Grimnoc, Chip Dapper, Hitman, Kingpin, Weezer (lol yeah right)

    P.S. I'm sorry for referring to all Icrontic members as "liches."

    P.P.S. No I'm not.

    fuuuuuuck.... I'm in. (giggity)

    I take it "Hotel Admission" is the price for people that are staying in hotel rooms instead of at HQ? Can someone recommend a not-so-shady inexpensive hotel nearby? No offense, but I don't think I'm going to be crashing at HQ again.
