Are There Any Upcoming LAN-slide Melbourne Events?

Updated

No — as of the current LAN-slide Melbourne website, there are no scheduled events. The site states plainly: "Currently we have no scheduled events." If you're looking for a date to put in your calendar, there isn't one listed right now, so the practical move is to check the site again later rather than plan around a specific weekend.

What this means if you want to attend

LAN-slide is a Melbourne-based organisation that runs BYOC (bring your own computer) LAN parties. Because the event calendar is currently empty, there's no open registration, no confirmed venue date, and no competition schedule to sign up for at the moment.

The absence of scheduled events doesn't mean the organisation has stopped — it means nothing is currently on the books. Events are organised by a group of unpaid Event Coordinators as a community event, so new dates appear when the team has locked in a venue and logistics.

What a typical LAN-slide event involves

When events are running, here's what attendees can generally expect, based on the organisation's own description:

  • Scale: BYOC LAN parties catering for up to 200 players.
  • Competitions: Titles such as CS2, Fortnite, Rocket League, Age of Empires 2, and Halo, with prizes on offer.
  • Casual play: You can skip the comps entirely and just play games with friends.
  • Non-PC activities: A console section and "AFK comps" — the site gives the example of a 50+ player pass-the-parcel.
  • Other draws: Board games, handheld gaming, couch gaming, and a charity raffle.

So the event is broader than a pure competitive tournament — it's part social gathering, part competition.

How to find out when the next event is announced

Since the site is the source of truth for scheduling, the reliable approach is:

  1. Revisit lanslide.com.au periodically. The homepage carries the event status line, so a quick check tells you whether anything has been added.
  2. Watch for the sponsor and event sections to update. The site lists sponsors who "make LAN-slide happen" — when an event is being organised, that surrounding content typically reflects an active event cycle.
  3. Don't rely on a fixed annual schedule. Nothing on the site promises events at set intervals, so treat any date as announced-only-when-listed.

The bottom line

If your question is "can I attend a LAN-slide event soon?" — not yet, because none are scheduled. The organisation still describes an active format with competitions, casual play, and non-PC activities for up to 200 people, so the sensible step is to bookmark the site and check back for a new date rather than assume the group is inactive.
