Bienvenue sur le site de PolyLAN !

Since 2002, PolyLAN, an association of EPFL, organizes LAN (or LAN party) in Switzerland twice a year. These events, which take place in the SG or RLC building at EPFL and sometimes in the Amphimax at the UNIL (University of Lausanne). Up to 400 participants are fighting trought a LAN network.

The crew, consisting primarily of students of the IT faculty, has 15 members, who put into practice the knowledge acquired during their studies. Benefiting from the electrical infrastructure, IT and logistics of the EPFL, the association offers a high quality event at an affordable price.

PolyLAN has become the largest organization of LAN party of Switzerland and with time the reference in organizing and promoting tournaments of video games or animated e-sports enjoying the excellent skills of future engineers and doctoral students who come out of this University to develop innovative entirely homemade LAN and network management systems. We now also have a high quality network infrastructure of several hundred thousand dolars from our partner Cisco who provide us all the equipment we need.

We've also developed a new concept for several editions: we organize some kind of tournament of video games with more than 20 different games durring the Lan Party and everyone is invited to participate in many games to get points throughout the event. We've developed a flexible LAN management system allows players to register directly for the tournaments they want to participate and monitor their performance and position in real time.

Moreover PolyLAN wants to be a LAN based on quality comfort for this reason we provide services like :

• Free guarded parking
• Dormitories with beds
• Access to showers
• A bar with Hot Dogs, Sandwiches, Chinese dishes, Snacs, Drinks + The possibility to buy before the LAN some hot dishes prepared by a caterer served on site at great prices
• A place easy to access by public transport pubilc (EPFL station)

Je sais que certains m'ont demandé la map Minecraft, malheureusement je suis repartis sans l'extraire du serveur et pour des raisons géographique, nous ne pourrons pas y avoir accès avant cet été, mais je m'engage à le faire cet été si cela intéresse toujours des personnes.

Merci encore pour cette participation à notre 19 ème édition et nous sommes impatients de vous revoir pour la 20 ème.
