Almost all of the events are well-suited to beginning players (The only one that isn't is CORS7-3 Into White Plume.)
First off there are the two Delve events. These are walk-up and play events running for the entire convention. Come up and play either D&D or the new Star Wars rules in a deathmatch dungeon crawl to see just how many critters you can hack or blast away in 20 minutes.
If you want more than a simple room, encounter, room, encounter... dealio, there is also plenty of great stories kicking off at PAX.
If you want to play Living Greyhawk, the 2-round Ruins of Discovery is a great place to start. We'll have pregenerated LG PCs to pick from onsite, and the adventure is written specifically with challenges for first-level PCs. Once you pick or create a PC, then start a brand new story arc and adventure into the original D&D dungeon, Castle Greyhawk.
If you want to try the new Star Wars Saga RPG, SWDD-1 Prelude to Defiance is kicking off a series of mods that take you from 1st to 20th. It is also made with 1st level PCs in mind. Be a young jedi... and take on the universe... in the first of a series.
A fan of Forgotten Realms? We have a whole series of adventures from the Undermountain mini-campaign. This time you get to make a 4th level PC or pick a ready-made option... and crawl into the depths of Forgotten Realms biggest dungeon.
Eberron is a cool new setting that features a sorta cybermagic feel, with war forged metal beings in the mix. Try out any of the Xendrik Expedition mods -- once again, pre-gen PCs are available to make it easy to sit and play. This campaign allows you to enter at 7th level... and be within 1-2 levels of the most experienced players at the table.
If someone brand new want to play the whole convention, here's a schedule I might suggest and have a full sampling of what the RPGA offers.
Friday
Show up early and work on your PCs for the weekend.
Slot 1 - Sample the two Delve events, D&D and Star Wars. Earn some prizes.
Slot 2 - Undermountain 1 - The River Sargauth - D&D/Forgotten Realms
Saturday
Slot 4 - Star Wars SWDD-1 - Prelude to Defiance - Star Wars RPG
Slot 5 - Living Greyhawk - CGR7-1 Part 1 Ruins of Discovery - D&D/Greyhawk
Slot 6 - Living Greyhawk - CGR7-1 Part 2 Ruins of Discovery - D&D/Greyhawk
Sunday
Slot 8 - Xendrik Expeditions - EXP-5 Shargon's Rage - D&D/Eberron
I hope that helps.

I ran this one recently, for three people who had read some of the rules and one person with no experience at all with Star Wars. With a pre-generated PC and some instruction as we moved along... the brand new player had a blast and felt integral to the success of the table.
If you wanted to, you could even come to the table and create a PC from scratch using the campaign guidelines with some assistance from the Judge and still have plenty of time to play this event.
Star Wars RPG was always fun, I highly recommend it. Combats are fast a furious and the role-playing is always enjoyable.

For the Prelude to Defiance event - to complete the event, must one register for all slots? I'd love to do it but am not sure I'll have the fortitude to game from 3 PM to 1 AM non-stop, plus I want to go to some Mechwarrior games at the convention. Is each slot a self-contained event, or is all in one giant event?
Also, how come there won't be any Urnst mods at PAX?

I'm definitely going to register for some of these games, but don't want to commit for more than 2 slots because there's so much going on I want to check out.
