Wondering where Minecon will be held this year? Anxious to get your travel plans in order, and prepare for another awesome convention? You might not need to wait long! Minecon 2013 has been confirmed for the US east coast, although the exact location is not yet known. Jens "Jeb" Bergensten had the following to offer:

Quote from Jeb »
The contract with the location has been signed, so it's mainly a question of people getting back from business trips. ETA for announcement should be end of May. Tickets will be available later (probably after summer, but I could be wrong).

While the convention's exact location has not yet been revealed, the two most likely east coast locations would seem to be New York, or Florida. Minecon 2012 was held in Disneyland Paris, and with Florida being the home of Disney World, in Orlando, it is a strong contender for Minecon 2013. Minecon '11 and '12 had approximately 4,500 attendees.

Are you planning on attending Minecon 2013? Tell us about it!

They should split the difference and go to Washington! Big important city and all (not to mention 20 minutes from me )

Baltimore would be a lot better than DC, home of rats.

If it is in Florida it'll most likely be in Miami or Orlando.

Maybe Boston, like PAX. I live in the general Boston area and it would be pretty convenient.

Honestly, Richmond or Baltimore would be the best place for minecon because it's in dead center of East Coast. If it is in Florida, people from New England and New York will have to travel all the way to Florida. Same thing for Floridians if minecon is in New York.

Man... NY and Florida are pretty far apart. NY is closer to me so I hope its there, but id feel bad for anyone in Florida/part of the east coast who cant go because of it. wish it was somewhere more centered... oh well.

YESSS!!!!!! I live in America!!!! Finally close enough that I almost have a chance of going!!!!!!!! If I can, I hope they have that green cape from the original Minecon cape vote. Also, my vote for location is DC because its somewhat in the middle geographically, and the capital of USA, and has lots of monuments. Also NY is overrated. And by that I really mean the pizza. But good thing about NY is, they have hot pretzel vendors about every other step. And these are good pretzels. Also bagels.

Yeah washington would be cool. Then more people in the east coast could go to the convention in their part of the country.

Quote from AnonymusKnight

Nevada, Paris and then again in the states.
Why has no-one suggested Sweden as a location for MineCon yet? There are great places in Stockholm for MineCon to be held. Also, the game Minecraft was created here, which would make it far more significant than to have it anywhere else. Just imagine to be able to take a tour in Mojang's HQ while attending MineCon - Sweden.
This opinion of location may depend on the fact that I am Swedish, although I hope that someone will see the good aspects with it.

Otherwise, the UK would be a great place to keep MineCon, since it's so very central for (at least) the European people.
Another option is Denmark or Germany, countries to which many can travel to by train or car very efficiently.

See this as advice for MineCon 2014, as well as a complaint about this year's location.

/Aaron

Yeah it would make a lot of sense for it to be in the UK and I agree but to be fair the states are big and it makes sense for it to be there at least twice. They probably planned them to alternate from the states to somewhere in Europe each year or something like that.
