BlizzCon 2010 will take place at Anaheim Convention Center on 21-22 October 2010.
Before Announcment
This BlizzCon was long considered hypothetical, since Blizzard had not yet announced the show, much less given any details about when or where it might be held. It was still widely expected that such an event would take place, after the wildly-successful and popular shows in 2008 and 2009, but nothing guaranteed it.
The first BlizzCon was held in the Anaheim Convention Center in late 2005. There was no Blizzcon in 2006, before the show returned in 2007, and continued in 2008 and 2009. Since 2008 the show has grown fantastically popular, selling out in minutes.
Blizzard employees made numerous joking remarks about "Blizzcon next year" when referring to additional info releases about their games.
Known Features
The fifth class in Diablo III is confirmed to be revealed at BlizzCon 2010.
Panel Schedule
Blizzard released a list of the panels a few weeks before the show. There was general to general dismay from the Diablo III community, when only two panels and one open Q&A were on the list for our game. (Compared to 6 Starcraft 2 and 7 World of Warcraft panels.)
The Diablo III Panels are as follows:
Diablo III Gameplay
Got a burning question about the Burning Hells? The development team dedicates an hour to audience questions about the story, design, art, sound, and gameplay of Diablo III.
Friday 12pm, Main Stage
What’s in store next for the heroes of Sanctuary? Learn about the latest game developments in this don’t-miss panel for Diablo players.
Diablo III: Crafting Sanctuary
Saturday 10:30am, Developer Panel Stage
The designers, artists, programmers, and writers share new information on the characters, creatures, game systems, and story of Diablo III.
Diablo III Open Q&A
Saturday 3pm, Main Stage
Floor Plan
The floor space taken by the event is the same as it was for Blizzcon 2009.
Vegas?
Rumors broke in late 2009 that Blizzcon 2010 would be held in late July in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was officially denied by Blizzard a week later.
