Both companies will have a huge presence at the event as the traditional LAN party expands in to Kettering Conference Centre’s main hall, creating one of the biggest demonstration areas ever at epic.LAN for participants to enjoy in their downtime between casual and competitive games.

A joint Scan, Intel and ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) stand will feature in the main hall and include:

• ROG product demonstration area
• ROG showcase PCs
• ROG shop with amazing show offers on the latest hardware and peripherals
• 2x HTC VIVE demonstration areas with prizes

Jon Winkle, epic.LAN Managing Director said, “With the growth of epic.LAN in 2019, we finally have room to put on a range of really cool activities for our participants and spectators. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the year than the huge Scan and ASUS zone at the event, giving people the chance to unwind between games, try out the latest technology before buying and even grab new hardware without having to leave the event.”

Charlotte Hodgen, Scan Computers Brand Manager added, “Gaming sits at the heart of Scan Computers. With its new expanded space for 2019 epic.LAN is offering a fantastic opportunity for us to bring our business straight to the real players. Working with our partner Republic of gamers we are truly excited to be bringing a whole host of new and exciting products along to the event for all to try out and we will have plenty of fun activities, offers and giveaways on the stand to really help the epic.LAN event be even more EPIC.”
