Didn't get any tweets but the schedule for West 2017 appears to be live on the website: http://west.paxsite.com/schedule
Once again friends, sound off! What panels are you most excited to attend this year?
After taking a further look, I'm pretty excited to try and attend the Nintendo panel, Annual Pax Crowd Play and the 10th Anniversary of Witcher panel!

Now I struggle to even find more then 6 panels I want to see over the entire weekend.
All I see that I want are the IGN panels, The secret Nintendo Panel, The Life is Strange Panel, What's Good Games, and PAX Rumble.
And Maybe the gameshow night stuff, but I'll miss that if Square does another Grimecraft concert at the Hard Rock Friday as a Life is Strange Before the Storm Launch Party. Fingers crossed that happens since the last two partys for Deus Ex and Lara Croft Go were amazing.
Or maybe they are doing something bigger Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary wise, or both. Who knows.
Edit: And of course the IGN and Giant Bomb Panels overlap.
For me, I usually have to really dive into the panels and descriptions before anything pops out at me. For instance, I didn't realize Koji Igarashi was gonna be at the Crowdfunding for Indies panel, and I'm genuinely interested in what he has to say.
But yeah, some panels are hit or miss but thank goodness PAX offers other things to do
Nintendo Panel
PAX Rumble V (the highlight of my PAX every year!)
Greg Miller's cancer panel
Hemming and Health: 2 of my PAX friends are on this panel! (I might not be able to make this one ;_;)
And maybe the IGN panel
Regarding stuff I'm not interested: I get it that streaming is big deal, but there is a bit too many of these panels this year. And call me old fashioned, but I prefer to watch my Let's plays/game videos done by people who are more level headed and let the game shine through, not w/ this "Twitch personalities" injecting shenanigans as they play and mostly using the game as prop.
I'm also waiting on the map to be up to see if they have the Pokemon Center again :P I think I will splurge for the large Snorlax this year.
It's not live yet. They said they are adding the finishing touches so it should be updated later today.
Weird, my app shows this year's schedule and map. It was a fresh download, not an update.
Maybe you're just lucky!
Wow, just checked the Google store, you are right. The Pax West app is the 2017 version. Thanks for noticing
For me, the ios app shows the images of the 2017 app, but when you open it there is not update yet. So maybe they have only pushed the android update so far. If anyone wants to post the maps it would be appreciated.
*edit: ios just updated for me. Got them maps!

What's this about a secret Nintendo panel?
PSN: L00nyEclip
Steam: Loony Eclipse
Twitter: @Loonyeclipse
They've done panels before at other conventions (specifically WonderCon). That one was more focused on the development for Hyrule Warriors Legends.
OMG, what if it's a Nintendo Direct, live at PAX!!
Secret in the sense that there's no description for it in Guidebook or the Pax site, but it's happening Sat. at 10 a.m. in the Hydra Theater.
I suspect they had to pull it to update it with some changes given recent events involving one of participants.
(Not the thread or site to discuss said events)
What the heck is this? It sounds freakin' awesome! I don't remember anything similar in past years, but I have a terrible memory. Anyone know more about this?
Either way, so far the only two panels I know I am going to is the Nintendo one (gotta get there SO EARLY) and the TRG one. Will probably go to a game dev panel or two.
Exhibitors are listed multiple times because they have multiple booths. If you click on wax. One it is a different booth number.
Okay, I was comparing this years and last years Guidebook and didnt notice any multiple of the same vendor. However, why is it after Yacht Club theres more exhibitors which should be above Y?
It looks like the ones after Yacht Club are specifically vendors.
Same! I am so excited for that, but I am going to have to get up so early. X3 What time do you (and everyone else here) intend to start lining up? I am thinking 7AM, but I wonder if that will be too early or not early enough...
Oh I didn't know that, thanks. But yeah I definitely intend to be in the area before 8 so I can try to get a spot... that is like the panel I am MOST excited for so I really want to get in. X3 And I bet it will be limited too... you know, since Nintendo loves limited availability. X3 J/K
Same here honestly! Yeah limited and Nintendo go hand in hand!
And I anxiously await the announcement of the fourth player for Acq Inc., I hope my feeling is correct.
They are the first panel of that day, unless the hotel shoo us out, we can probably line up early. Planning for being there ~8am, hope that's early enough. People staying on the Hyatt can just sleep on the line :P
