Michael James, Project Director for rAge, sheds light on the decision to change the venue and what it means for LAN participants: “Space and flexibility were the key reasons behind our move to the Johannesburg Expo Centre. This venue offers us massive, connected halls, conference rooms, and expansive outdoor spaces, providing the perfect setting for the BYOC LAN and the expo. It also allows us to offer a much wider range of food and beverage options to cater to everyone’s taste. Great news for gamers who are there for the whole weekend, doing what they love.”
