AFK ROOM

It can be noisy and hectic on the show floor. All of us need to take a breather sometimes. If you need a quiet space to get away from it all or just gather your thoughts, you can visit the AFK Room. This low-sensory space is a staffed relaxing place for anyone who needs a place to regain their calm. Whether you need a dark, quiet space to unwind free from interruption or just need a space to chill and take a break, the AFK Room has what you need. 

The AFK Room is supported by Beyond Blue volunteers to moderate and maintain the atmosphere. Beyond Blue also graciously offer education, resources, and a listening ear to convention attendees through the Connection room, giving you a discrete space to access Beyond Blue services.

Everyone is welcome to make use of the AFK Room space during the hours of 10am to 6pm each day. You can gain access to the AFK Room through the sliding doors off the Expo Hall, right between the main concourse and PAX Rising. Just look for the standing AFK Room banner.
