PAX East Highlights Returning Studios For 2022 Event
Penny Arcade and ReedPop are highlighting some of the returning studios to PAX East as the event comes back to Boston in April. After having to postpone the 2021 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team is bringing the event back to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from April 21st-24th, and with them will be a number of returning exhibitors, panels, game demos, and more.
But the team is also reminding people that they're not playing around with the convention when it comes to health and safety, as they will be requiring mandatory proof of vaccination and face coverings for all attendees, exhibitors, and guests, as they follow the health and safety guidelines that have been laid out. They even posted on social media where people can get the vaccine and the timetable to do so in order to attend on their Twitter, which is about as clear as they can make it that unvaccinated people will not be allowed inside. Here's some added info from them now hat to expect this year as we wait to see if any last-minute additions happen in the next month.
