About PAX West
PAX West is one of the largest consumer-facing game festivals in the western US, known for its vibrant esports scene, developer panels, and expansive exhibitor hall. It attracts both industry professionals and enthusiasts, making it significant for B2B and community engagement.
PAX West 2026
PAX West 2026 runs 4–7 September 2026 at the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, Washington.
PAX West is one of the largest tabletop, video game and gaming culture conventions in North America, held annually over Labor Day weekend — exhibitor booths, indie showcases, panels, tournaments and cosplay, organized by ReedPop.
It is a consumer show with heavy industry presence: publishers stage hands-on demos of unreleased games for the public rather than for buyers.
