About Us
LANFest is a 501c3 non-profit organization built on the mission of “Building healthy communities through gaming”. LANFest was founded by a small group of workers at Intel back in 2002 who wanted to put together a LAN and bring people together. It wasn’t until 2011 that LANFest was a fully functioning organization and began its mission of building healthy communities through gaming by becoming a charity organization. Through the years LANFest has grown from just a small group of gamers in Washington at the Intel Office to a massive organization with 21 Chapters across 17 States and is still growing today!
