Check the full schedule and topics
QuakeCon 2012 kicks off next weekend, and we've got the full panels schedule right here, for those of you interested in attending or just because. id Software co-founder and technical director John Carmack will be kicking the event off on Thursday, as tradition dictates. Over the next couple days, "folks from across the industry" will be giving talks at various panels.
As always, the convention is free to attend, and you can still register on the official site. By now, most of the paid packages are already sold out, though there's still the $40 swag pack. Last we checked, they still had about 160-something left.
