PAX West Gaming Convention: My Experiences Over the Years

Join me as I share my PAX West experiences - from mind-blowing indie games and cosplay highlights to creator meetups and panel insights from the biggest gaming convention of the year.

I've been attending PAX West (Seattle) annually since 2017, and every year brings fresh energy — from indie showcases to VR demos and creator meetups. Below I've collected highlights, community events, and videos from my PAX West experiences over the years.

This post focuses on three areas I love: Media & Content Creation, the hands-on VR demos I've tried, and the vibrant community spaces like Seattle Indies Expo and the Seattle Online Broadcasters Association (SOBA) — my Twitch/community team that runs events and panels during the show.

I hope this gives you a taste of the convention atmosphere and points you to the best videos and clips from my coverage.

Community & Events

I regularly check out the Seattle Indies Expo which runs alongside PAX — it’s a great place to play indie demos and meet devs. I also collaborate with the Seattle Online Broadcasters Association (SOBA) — our community/Twitch team runs panels and community meetups during PAX each year.

If you attend PAX and see me around, say hi! I'm usually juggling a camera, a badge, and an over-caffeinated curiosity for VR demos.
