AdventureCon announced for summer ‘07

If you're an adventure fan, you can finally leave that Klingon costume in the closet this year, as 2007 marks the year of AdventureCon. That's right, the genre is getting its very own convention in Las Vegas this summer.

Co-founded by Howard Sherman of Malinche Entertainment and Randy Sluganski of Just Adventure, and intended to "celebrate thirty years of adventure game fun and entertainment with 10,000 square feet of wall-to-wall fun catering to every kind of adventure game fan", AdventureCon is scheduled for the weekend of August 28th and 29th at the Mirage Hotel. Announced guests so far include text adventure legend Scott Adams, Leisure Suit Larry creator Al Lowe, and Gabriel Knight creator Jane Jensen.

AdventureCon is currently accepting early registrations at discounted prices, from $299 (all prices US) for a convention ticket alone, or $599 for a "Stay and Play" package that includes a two-night stay at the Mirage. Both tickets include free breakfast and lunch, plus of course full access to the convention itself, which will reportedly include several workshops, an Exhibitors Area and a special Zork Room open throughout, plus evening cocktail parties to round out the experience.

The schedule is considered tentative at this stage, as event planning is still in the formative stages, but you can follow all the latest news on AdventureCon by visiting the official website. From there you can also sign up for regular updates through the AdventureCon newsletter.
