PAX Aus 2026 Media Applications

Hi there! Thanks for expressing your interest in covering PAX Aus 2026 as a Media Badge holder! Please read below before proceeding to the application

About the Media Badge
The Media Badge is offered to reputable media organisations in exchange for generating event coverage for PAX Aus 2026. It gives the holder general access to the public areas of PAX for all three days of the event. Media Badge holders are also given an additional hour of access on specifically the Friday morning of PAX, with entry at 9am on Friday (10am on Saturday and Sunday).

Please note that completion of this application form does not guarantee you will receive a Media Badge.

Application Period

This year, our Media application open and closing window is aligned to simplify our refund process for accepted applicants. Please see our Refunds Policy below.

Media applications will close by 9am Wednesday 5 August 2026.

Applications will be processed and responses will be sent out by Wednesday 12 August 2026.

Getting Involved at PAX

Due to the high demand and limited capacity of badges, we ask that you carefully consider which badge type is best for you when applying, as each applicant will be entitled to only one badge each at the show.

There are plenty of ways to get involved with the show to secure your attendance outside of a Media Badge. You may also want to consider;

Appear on a panel to receive a Special Guest Badge
Working with an exhibiting partner

See the Get Involved page on the PAX Aus website for more details on getting involved in 2026.

Badges will be accredited in waves closer to the show:

Wave 1 applications close Wednesday 17 June
Wave 2 applications close Wednesday 5 August
