 BlizzCons of years past have featured an array of exciting panels, unveilings, and entertainment, including the world debuts of the latest World of Warcraft content, the first-ever public hands-on with StarCraft II and Diablo III, and epic rock performances by Foo Fighters and Tenacious D.

 BlizzCon would not be possible without the enthusiasm of Blizzard Entertainment gamers around the world and the generous support of the event's partners, who provide demo-station hardware, peripherals, and more. This year's sponsors are Intel, NVIDIA, Sony Computer Entertainment, DIRECTV, SteelSeries, GIGABYTE, Rosewill, and EVGA.
