We’ve got a lot going on at PAX East this weekend! Everything you need to know is below.

Another year, another Twitch road trip to PAX East! We’re shipping out to Boston to bring you the best of the show, even if you can’t make it in person. We’ve got a ton in store for you, including but not limited to…

  • A full slate of 🔥 content streamed LIVE from the Twitch booth with the Twitch hosts you’ve come to know and love, including Kelly Link, Ezekiel III, Seltzer, DonFUBAR, UGRGaming, Jon Carnage, Anna Prosser, and djWHEAT
  • PJ Saltan is back, this time with a brand new set of streamers aiming to take home the title of the Saltiest
  • Coverage of PAX’s most coveted panels from the Main, Albatross, and Dragonfly Theatres
  • Plenty of competitive action from the PAX Arena, including the continuation of PAX’s ‘For the Watch’ grudge match between Penny Arcade founders Gabe and Tycho on Friday night, this time in For Honor (how fitting). Then cap the week off with a Sunday Smash WiiU Invitational beginning at 11:30AM EST — Featuring players ZeRo, Anti, ESAM, Larry Lurr, Dabuz, and more.

Even that is not all, so for schedules, more info, and all live content, make sure to check out our PAX East 2017 event portal.

Attending PAX Live? Come visit us at our brand new booth [#18019] (and make sure to follow us on Twitter — a little birdy told me there might be some swag giveaways). We’ve also got a swanky lounge [#18031] for the literally hundreds of Twitch Partnered streamers in attendance. So if you’re a Partner and need a place to relax, look no further!

And don’t forget about the Twitch Town Hall. Not only is it the only place to get exclusive Twitch swag (see: pins and more), it’s where we’ll be announcing some major new products, features, and content for the Twitch community to enjoy. The Town Hall takes place on Friday at 11:30am ET in the Dragonfly Theatre and will be streamed live on twitch.tv/pax3, but if you’re attending in person best to show up bright and early, as these things get packed. Our second panel will be a Q&A session with Twitch’s product managers, live Saturday at 11:30am ET, also in Dragonfly.

Come by the Twitch booth to meet your favorite streamers!
