East '26 PAX Together Demo Days Application

The PAX Together program is proud to present our second annual PAX Together Demo Days!

PAX Together Demo Days is a program which provides BIPOC tabletop game developers the opportunity to showcase their new and in-development games. This is a chance for independent devs to demo their games in the PAX Expo Hall alongside big name titles. Demo Days is our way of lowering the barriers to entry game developers face in getting their games out to a wide audience. We are specifically highlighting BIPOC game devs so that more diverse games and stories are shared with the PAX community.
