Panel Schedule
We strive to elevate all aspects of the culture around gaming, and perhaps nowhere is that more evident than our panels, with the full schedule available about a month prior to each event.
Indie Showcase
Hundreds will submit their game, but only a select few make it through the gauntlet of industry judges to be crowned an Indie Showcase Winner.

What happens when you bring the world’s most competitive gamers together and pit them against each other for fame, glory, and cold hard cash? Let’s find out!
Omegathon
We’ve selected champions from the audience to compete against each other for your amusement, but beware, the road to the Final Round of the Omegathon is paved with tears and broken dreams. Nah, honestly it’s really great for everyone. See for yourself!
Tournaments
If you’ve got the guts to put your skills to the test and compete with fans from around the world, we’ve got a tournament for you. Check out the full schedule and remember: Thumb scars will fade, but bragging rights are eternal.
PAX Radio

Speedrunning
There is an ever-growing number of games and only a finite number of waking hours, so it makes sense to play them all as fast as possible. At least that's how speedrunning was explained to us? Come and see the best speedrunners in the world fall through floors, forward roll, and set new records.
Social Games
You got a phone? Then you got a game! Check out our lists of easy-to-play browser and mobile games, get a group together, or if you’re really lucky, jump into a session hosted by yours truly.

Australia’s premier digital games festival returns from 2-10 October and this year’s packed online program celebrates the fun and fantasy of games as well as exploring games for good, games as art and games that grow industry and business.
PAX Rising
Our hand picked indie developer area displays great indie titles, each of which we think has something special to offer.
