We’ve already had a Sneak Peek at some panels that will be on offer at PAX this year. I know that details on a few measly panels isn’t going to be enough for you though.
Leading up to the end of October, you’ll start seeing more announcements on the different types of panels.
The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center (MCEC) is a big place and PAX Australia will be taking over 6 theatres. From what’s already been announced there is an estimated 100(ish) panels and 150 exhibitors over the course of the event.
As the schedule starts to fill out, you can feel overwhelmed by the excitement levels. Make sure you check out our PAX Australia survival guide on tips to overcome this feeling (Pirate Ships are involved).
The PAX Panels that have been announced are in the schedule below. Stay tuned to Non-Fiction Gaming through Facebook and Twitter as more updates will be coming in over the next 5 weeks.
- Main Theatre (Lvl 0, Convention Centre)
- Wombat Theatre (Lvl 0, Convention Centre)
- Dropbear Theatre (Lvl 1, Exhibition Centre)
- Kookaburra Theatre (Lvl 2, Convention Centre)
- Galah Theatre (Lvl 2, Convention Centre)
- Fruitbat Theatre (Lvl 2, Convention Centre)
The Full Map has been released!
