PAX AUS 2019’s keynote speaker is David Gaider

PAX AUS 2019’s keynote speaker has today been confirmed to be industry veteran David Gaider.

Gaider is a Canadian writer and designer who’s worked with BioWare on games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II. More recently, Gaider will head a new Melbourne-based studio called Summerfall Studios.

“David’s decades of incredible experience creating fantasy worlds and characters will no doubt lend itself to a very imaginative and interactive keynote, and we’re very excited to hear about his plans for Summerfall Studios,” PAX AUS organisers said in a press release.

Gaider will feature on a number of PAX AUS panels, but his keynote address has been scheduled for 10.30 am AEST on Friday, 11 October.

PAX AUS 2019 takes place over 11-13 October at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
