===Blizzcon 2010 ===
BlizzCon 2010 took place October 22-23, 2010, at the Anaheim Convention Center. As in past years, BlizzCon created an tremendous amount of news and content. The following sections hold it all, sorted by type and importance. Check the Blizzcon news category to see every single news item related to Blizzcon; this Media Coverage page only archives the items with substantial content.
====Panel Coverage====
There were three Diablo III panels at Blizzcon 2010. The third was simply an open Q&A, which was fairly unremarkable. The first two though, were great sources of information on game design and development, and are highly recommended to any serious fan of the game.
