COSPLAY
There’s “playing games” and then there’s “wearing games”. Of course, most know the practice better by the name “Cosplay”. We’ve got activities, panels, and more for costuming enthusiasts at the show. Bookmark this page for more exciting info happening in 2025.

NERD CALIBER AT PAX EAST
You may have seen this group of talented photographers and videographers at a previous PAX nearby the elevator bays taking expert shots of your elaborate cosplays, but this year Nerd Caliber is our official cosplay photography and cosplay video partner!
Visit them throughout the show (details to come) and check out their past work on their website.
*Please note: While getting your photo taken is free, Nerd Caliber will be offering high-resolution digital images for sale via their website. PAX has no involvement with the sales of these photos.
COSPLAY REPAIR
PAX East is proud to have GiveWave Studios as their official cosplay repair partner. You may know GWS's Cas from his elaborate & award winning cosplays throughout the years here in the New England con circuit, seen his tutorials on Youtube, attended some of his panels here at PAX or even participated in his unique "Cosplay Fridays" nights at his studios nested inside the Lowell Makes maker space. Cas and his crew will be on site, providing emergency repair services for any snafus your cosplay may have during your PAX experience. From sewing, to make up, wig work, EVA foam repairs, electronics and anything in between, the GiveWave Studios hosted repair room will be outfitted to deal with any "Cos-mergencies" that may occur on the convention floor. www.GiveWaveStudios.com
