Join BSDT at PAX East, the East Coast’s largest gaming convention, in April 2022

Becker students at PAX East

The Becker School of Design & Technology (BSDT) has been participating in the Penny Arcade’s PAX East — the East Coast’s largest gaming convention — for over a decade, since its inaugural year. We are excited to be planning for the 2022 exhibition to be held April 21-24.

Housed at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, and annually drawing up to 100,000 attendees, PAX East creates a space where the gaming community can come together to play, learn, celebrate, and connect with developers. The four-day event is jam packed with both Indie and AAA companies showing off their latest releases, as well as vendors, panels, tournaments, concerts, and free-play areas for tabletop, esports, and retro games.

The BSDT exhibit provides the incredible opportunity for student teams to showcase their latest work alongside industry developers to an enormous audience. The booth includes a rotating gallery of curated digital artwork throughout the event as well as PC and tablet stations where attendees get a sneak peek at a juried selection of student-made games created in The Game Studio (the core of BSDT’s popular and innovative curriculum), Greenlit titles, and the works of alumni invited to demo.

PAX East also offers a wonderful opportunity for the 15 years of program alumni to come by the booth, test out the latest titles, catch up with faculty, and reconnect with former classmates. Every year we collect stories, take photos, and share experiences with dozens of BSDT family members. We are eager to see so many of you there this April!
