2023-01-13 - 2023-01-15 | Hamburg Fairgrounds (McKinley entrance), Hamburg, 14075
MassiveLAN is a group of gamers that have been putting on LAN parties since 2004. The original idea was simple, assemble a group of smaller LANs in the greater Buffalo area and assemble them into one, cohesive group for an annual event that simply wouldn’t be possible otherwise.
A lot has changed since then. MassiveLAN is now it’s own LAN, with many of its original members still involved. We now hold bi-annual events, once in the winter, and once in the summer. Recently we’ve also partnered with LANFest so that our door entry money goes to charity. Every event we select a different local charity to get involved with, and keep that money here in Western NY.
