Posted 7th Oct 2008 10:10 AM by Medievaldragon

Those attending BlizzCon will be happy to view the event schedule and floor plan a few days in advance to plan their time wisely. Exhibit Areas and Store open at 10:00am if you plan to get ahold of any of the Warcraft books, T-shirts, and other licensed products.

Blizzard Quote:
We’ve just released the final schedule and floor plan for BlizzCon. The schedule lists the locations and times for the major events that will take place during the convention, such as hands-on gaming, tournaments, contests, and of course the developer panels where Blizzard’s game designers talk about the many aspects of making a great game. The floor plan will give you more information on the exact locations of this year’s points of interest such as the stores, hands-on gaming stations, and more.

Check out the schedule of events and the interactive floor plan now!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10TH
At 11:00am you should start heading to Hall C for the Opening Ceremony which will last approximately an hour. At 12:00pm you have the option to witness one of three events: the World of Warcraft UI discussion (Room 2004); watch the Diablo III panel (Hall C); or head to the Exhibit area to get your World of Warcraft pocket books and manga signed by writers Richard A. Knaak and Christie Golden.

At 1:30pm starts the World of Warcraft Class Panel (Hall C) and Blizzard Sound Panel (Room 204).

At 3:00pm head to the World of Warcraft Art Panel (Room 204). Chances are you are gonna meet Samwise Didier (Blizzard Senior Art Director) and other popular artists such as Glenn Rane.

After 4:30pm all World of Warcraft panels are over. You are free to go to any of the other activities of the day such as the Diablo III Gameplay discussion, the World of Warcraft tournament (Round Quater Finals) or the Starcraft II Art panel (Room 204). Otherwise you can visit any of the hands-on gameplay computers to play Wrath of the Lich King or other games. 

Just remember to visit the Tokyopop booth around 5:00-6:30pm for the second round of book signings by Knaak and Golden if you haven’t by then.

At 6:00pm start the awesome and fun Fan Contests. Don’t miss them.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11TH
Exhibit Area and Store open at 10:00am. Hop into the Tokyopop booth quickly for the first round of book signings by Richard A. Knaak and Christie Golden if you missed it on Friday. However, be very quick about your business because two World of Warcraft panels start at the same time in different rooms. You can pick one of these: World of Warcraft PvP (Hall C) at 10:30am or DVD Production (Room 204).

At 12:00pm, get your excitement ready for the World of Warcraft Raids & Dungeons panel (Hall C).

At 1:30pm, things will get really tough to decide. You can either pick to participate in the World of Warcraft Q&A panel, or check out Room 204 to meet the sexy Felicia Day and The Guild crew ... I think some community-submited questions will be lost somewhere in the way to Room 204.

At 3:00pm, return to Hall C for the World of Warcraft Classes panel. You will have a 30 minutes break at 4:00pm. Get some snacks and drinks. At 4:00-5:00pm starts the second round of book signings by Richard A. Knaak and Christie Golden at the Tokyopop booth.

From there, you should start heading to Room 204 at 4:30 if you are interested in the Blizzard Cinematics discussion. Or you can check out the World of Warcraft Tournament Hall to see Blizzard vs the Pros.

At 5:00pm the Closing Ceremony begins, and you can enjoy the Video Games Live concert and probably lvl 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain in Hall C 5:30pm - 8:30pm.

If you are all about hardcore World of Warcraft stuff, that’s a possible schedule to pick. Otherwise, there are many options to spend your day.
