Ontario’s Largest LAN Party

LAN WAR is a bi-annual LAN Party hosted by the student society of the same name from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in Oshawa, Ontario. It’s the largest conglomerate gaming event in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) dedicated to offering a wide array of competitive and casual gaming, vendors, prizes, cosplayers, trivia contests, raffles, and giveaways.

LANWAR X was originally an event that took place from March 25th – 27th, 2011 in an efforts by its founders (Aries Youssefian and Tony Tran) to break a world record for longest LAN Party while raising money for charity. Starting as an idea from UOIT’s Faculty of Business and IT undergraduates, LAN WAR has stayed consistent in what it specializes in and what it promotes. Over the years the number of participants, volunteers, prizes, competitions, sponsors, and vendors have increased continually to reflect the increasing spectrum of areas the event covers. Until LAN WAR X, this event was exclusive to students and Alumni of UOIT and Durham College but is now open to all demographics of age 13 and above to take part in.
