Event Details
How many gamers are coming?
We expect around 150 gamers at WINLAN X. The event has grown steadily since the first WINLAN over four years ago, and it’s always a great time! We had over 120 attendees at our last LAN.
How fast is the internet at the event?
We have an ultra-high-speed 10 Gbps (that's GIGAbits per second!) dedicated internet connection. This is roughly a bazillion times faster than your home's internet connection. Let's just say lag and slow download speeds won't be a problem! Brought to you by WIN Technology. :-)
Will there be gaming consoles?
While most people game on the PC, we do have a console presence at WIN LAN. You are welcome to bring a console in addition to (or in replacement of) a PC. Just bring a TV/Monitor to connect to it, and your set. We MIGHT have 2 HD projectors connected to a PS4 and Wii U (ultra large screens).
Is there an age requirement to attend the event?
Yes there is. If you are under 16 years old you must be accompanied by an adult at all times and have your legal guardian fill out the waiver prior to attending.
Are you 16 & 17 years old? You can attend alone, but must still bring a completed waiver signed by your parent or legal guardian.
Where do I park my car?
There is ample parking at the Banbury Building (where WINLAN is held) for all attendees. The event is right next to the parking lot, upstairs on second floor. Take the elevator.
What is the refund policy?
Tickets are transferable to the next LAN, but are not refundable. All sales final. If you got a ticket and you can't make the event - please let us know if you're not coming by emailing admin@winlanparty.com so that we can free up your seat.
