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!
You’ll be able to visit them for photos throughout the convention (starting at 12:00 PM Thursday and running through show hours through Sunday) and find your perfect poses on their website after the show*. Check back here for a link, or visit their website to see more.
FINDING NERD CALIBER AT PAX EAST
Our studio will be set up in cosplay room 106 for posed photos for any cosplayers interested. We’ll also have a separate photo team that will be present for the cosplay meetups in room 109 throughout the weekend. Come by and see us while the cosplay room is open!
