Started by videogame-oriented comic strip creators Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins in 2004, Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) is a three-day, round-the-clock celebration of games and game culture. It includes an exhibition floor filled with playable demos of upcoming games, a conference program of game-industry speakers on gaming topics, music concerts, game tournaments and more. PAX is the largest gaming festival in North America, representing tabletop, console and PC gaming. The Penny Arcade Expo first took place in Bellevue, Washington in 2004 and has since grown from 3,300 attendees in 2004 to the more than 30,000 attendees expected this year. The event will be held at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, Downtown Seattle, 800 Convention Place. For more information visit www.pennyarcadeexpo.com.
