PAX West 2016 Community Trading Meetups (and other Events)!
Good news everyone! After planning, consulting, stressing, searching, and countless sleepless nights spent enveloped in sheer existential terror (so really just a bunch of normal days) the community meetups have been set! Below you'll find a list of all the community events happening at PAX West this year.
Pre PAX Lunch - Thursday 1pm @ The Cheesecake Factory. Informal lunch for pin folk!
Pre PAX Dinner - Thursday 4-8pm @ Lunchbox Laboratory. This event required prepayment, the due date of which has already expired so unfortunately we can't accept anyone not on the list. But if you are then we'll see you there!
The Game of Pins: The Community Pinny Arcade Panel - Friday 12-1pm @ Chipmunk Theater. Join us for a community presentation on the wonders of the pin world! The Guidebook description hits the nail on the head, plus we'll have some free stuff to raffle off!
Pinny Arcade Pin Trading Event - Friday 4-6pm @ the Autograph Area. Meet and trade with the PA staff! All PA trading rules apply here, they have to take any trade 1-to-1 no matter the pins as long as they're official, but you can't trade with a Staff member more than twice a day. Line up early because this event will probably cap!
Community Trading Meetup 1 - Friday 7-8pm @ the Autograph Area. The first of our weekend full of meetups! There will be one every day in the same area but the times vary because scheduling is hard. All traders and pinthusiasts are welcome, it's not just limited to established community members. And everyone, don't forget to be on your best behavior!
Community Trading Meetup 2 - Saturday 6-7pm @ the Autograph Area.
Community Trading Meetup 3 - Sunday 3-4pm @ the Autograph Area.
Community Trading Meetup 4 - Monday 3-4pm @ the Autograph Area. Last chance!
Keep an eye out at PAX for information handouts as well, containing the event info above, community information and resources, and the pin quest (minus staff) on the back!
Community trading events are where it's at yo. If you are after a specific pin or pins -- you will never have a better chance to find them than browsing around at these events.
Sounds awesome. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it to the staff trading session due to schedule conflicts, so I'm happy that there are community trading sessions each day as well!
