We can’t totally spill the beans on PAX East yet, but we have big plans, and you’re a big part of them. For several folks, we’ll be springing for Friday and/or Sunday day passes. (Sorry – Saturday and 3 day sold out already.) Others will be getting full on 3 day Press Passes.We are limited on the number of Press Passes by PAX East itself, I don’t yet have the numbers.
We’ll be having a meetup near the convention to hand out shirts, swag and just hang out as a team. While at the convention we’ll be sure you’re decked out in GS gear, and assignments and pre-coverage tips will be plentiful as we near the event. Folks with Press Passes especially will be expected to do some serious coverage, networking and so forth, but everyone will have goals to work towards (while also having a blast at PAX!)
Have your own tickets?
If you already have your own tickets, no problem! If you want to be part of the meetups, swag and coverage teams, just indicate that in the comments below.
