I attended the original PAX East in 2010, before it grew in size and moved to the BCEC. It was a great event, and from what I’ve seen, PAX East has continued to be the greatest gaming convention in the North East!<\/p>\n

PAX East has become the premier east coast event for gamers since its debut in 2010.\u00a0 The annual expo quickly sells out, drawing tens of thousands for a celebration of gaming culture with reveals from the biggest publishers, hands-on demos with the most hotly anticipated titles, panels with industry icons, eSports tournaments with world-class players, concerts with game inspired music and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“While my biggest joy is helping bring millions of gamers together at PAX, my biggest disappointment is not being able to share the experience with more people,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder, Penny Arcade. “With PAX East’s expansion to four days, we expect even more people will be able to join us for our best show yet at PAX East 2018.”<\/span><\/p>\n

PAX<\/a><\/span> or Penny Arcade Expo is a festival for gamers to celebrate gaming culture. First held in Seattle in 2004, PAX has nearly doubled in size each successive year, with PAX Prime 2014 selling out of tickets in a matter of minutes. Connecting the world’s leading game publishers with their most avid and influential fans, PAX expanded with a second show in Boston in 2010 and a third in San Antonio in 2015, making it the three largest gaming shows in North America. The first international PAX was held in Melbourne, Australia in 2013. In 2017 Penny Arcade announced PAX Unplugged, a tabletop focused show to be held in Philadelphia, and Powered by PAX, a new brand for the global expansion of PAX events.<\/span><\/p>\n
