150 days til PAX! Which means you still have time to emotionally prepare. ...... Barely.

PAX Together is back for PAX Aus 2026! #PAXTogether celebrates diversity and inclusion in the gaming world. This year, we have three dedicated spaces: the lounge itself, a theatre, and our community group area. Here is a thread on how to get involved.

Got something to say about games? We got a stage (or several) for that. We’re calling for panel submissions covering everything from tabletop to video games - the culture, the craft, the industry, and everything in between. Step up and take to the stage at #PAXAus.  aus.paxsite.com/en-us/get-in...

“So badges are on sale now?” “Yes.” “And Saturday badges are selling out fast?” “Yes.” “Uh-huh… and badges are on sale now?” “Yes.” “I see… and Saturday is selling out fast?” “Yes.”

Thinking of submitting a PAX Aus panel this year? 7:30pm AEST TONIGHT, our friends at @anzcreators are chatting with @kittycanteven - PAX Content Manager. They'll cover what makes a great submission, what stands out, what we are looking for and more! Tune in here: www.twitch.tv/anzcreators
