BEEF Con is an annual three-day gathering of highly trained gaming personnel, competitive specialists, and individuals willing to sacrifice an entire weekend to achieve absolutely nothing of measurable value.
Bring the squad together. Bring the computers. Compete across multiple games. Win trophies. Eat an unreasonable amount of food. Establish bragging rights for the next twelve months.
Hosted annually in Camas, Washington, BEEF Con combines competitive gaming, group activities, awards, food, friendship, and several traditions that have somehow survived multiple years of organizational review.
The official BEEF CON 2027 announcement has been authorized for public viewing. Give it a watch and get HYPED for BEEF CON 2027.
BEEF personnel will compete across official main competitions, smaller prize events, and a large collection of casual games. Main competition rules and specific prizes will be published by the Council when finalized.

Tactical BEEF operations.
These games may be fired up throughout the weekend for fun between official events. If you don't own a game you'd like to play, consider grabbing it before the event so you can hop in.
The gift exchange returns for 2027. Known as "White Elephant" by uneducated non-Beefers. Participation is optional, but gift-related chaos is strongly encouraged.
Everyone brings a wrapped gift. We go around the circle. Each person either picks a random package to open or steals an already opened gift. A gift that has been stolen twice is locked and can no longer be stolen.
Bring something funny. Bring something weird. Bring something that another BEEFer might actually want. But above all, conceal it.

BEEF Con is made possible through the generous financial contributions of BEEF personnel and other individuals who have accepted the financial consequences of friendship.
Donations help cover the actual costs of the weekend:
Contributions are completely optional. No BEEF personnel will be denied entry for failure to contribute, although the Council reserves the right to remember who helped fund the brisket.
In the beginning, there was Call of Duty: Black Ops. There was a clan tag. The clan tag was BEEF.
What began as a completely arbitrary four-letter designation eventually became the shared identity of a group of gamers. The designation survived multiple games, multiple years, and an increasingly unnecessary level of organizational infrastructure.
Eventually, someone decided that everyone should bring their computers to a house in Washington and spend an entire weekend competing against each other.
