PAX West is a celebration of gaming and gaming culture featuring panels, a huge expo hall filled with publishers & studios, new game demos, musical performances, tournaments, and a community experience unlike any other. PAX West is the original. The one that started it all. The PAX before all other PAX’s. It may have technically started in Bellevue, just across a bridge to the east, and it may have technically used a different name in the very beginnings, but make no mistake. PAX West is the Original Recipe, and organizers have stayed true to all those herbs and spices all these years later.
