About

PAX Unplugged is a convention for gamers of all genres.

PAX Unplugged is a gaming convention held in Philadelphia. Founded by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, authors of the popular web comic Penny Arcade, each PAX is a show dedicated to supporting and celebrating video and tabletop gaming.

Millions of attendees come to enjoy the expo floor halls filled with booths from major game publishers and independent developers, panels from video game industry insiders, game culture-inspired concerts, LAN parties, tabletop gaming, competitions and much more.

PAX Unplugged is an event specifically tailored to gamers of all ages. All of the content throughout the show is meant to be enjoyed by the entire family all weekend and what’s more, Sunday’s offerings are specifically set up to appeal to our younger gamers in attendance.  It’s with that in mind that we will also be offering a Sunday Kid’s Day badge for anyone under 12.
