The Con will be equipped to accomidate PC gamers,who are encouraged to bring their own laptops, and games to participate, and Non PC gamers are asked to bring their own gaming consoles, to avoid anyone not being able to participate.

This is the sixth year BeachCon will be held. It started as a 10 person thing in the dorms, and has now branched out into a full blown gaming event. In the Daily 49er the events marketing representative Cole Peterson said, “Basically, the event was an excuse for people who enjoy electronic gaming to get together and have a great night doing what they love.”

The event will be sponsored by Gaming/Tech companies like GamePlay, TrendNET, and Velocity Micro.

There is a $10 fee for non-residents, and to register go to beachcon.org. There is a limited amount of space so register soon.
