PAX South shut down “for the foreseeable future”

There's always PAX Online?

PAX South has been shut down “for the foreseeable future,” its organisers have today proclaimed.

“While each of our other events has flourished, some of them drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees from around the workd, PAX South hasn’t expanded and to some extent has remained the same show that it was when we opened it in 2015,” a statement on Twitter reads.

“Faced with that reality, and compounded by the impact of COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to bring PAX South to an end for the foresee able future.”

While the San Antonio, Texas-based event is no longer, events in Seattle, Boston, Melbourne, Philadelphia (and likely online) are expected to continue in 2022.

PAX Australia was supposed to be an in-person event last month, but a wave of COVID-19 delta variant infections forced the event online.
