Popular Demand Inspires Move of Nation’s Gamer Festival to Larger Venue in Downtown Seattle
[quote]Seattle, Washington - Jan 26, 2007 Penny Arcade, creators of the popular gaming comic strip of the same name today revealed plans for a bigger and badder (in the best possible way) celebration of videogames and game culture at the 4th annual Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) scheduled to take place August 24-26th at the Washington State Trade and Convention Center in downtown Seattle, Washington. Pre-registration for what has become the premier event for hardcore game fans is now officially open at http://www.pennyarcadeexpo.com.
The new PAX location more than doubles the floor space to over 200,000 square feet of soon-to-be- released game products, tournaments, concerts, contests and lots more. Previously held in nearby Bellevue, PAX had outgrown it's earlier space due to rapidly increased interest from both fans and exhibitors.
“We conservatively expect 30,000 hardcore gamers in Seattle this summer, making us the fastest- growing and largest gamer festival in North Americaâ€
