The true PAX East experience lives in the spaces between the booths. It’s in the rhythmic clicking of mechanical keyboards in the PC area, the clatter of dice in Tabletop, and the spontaneous cheers erupting from the Arcade or PAX Arena.

I was able to check out a good number of discussions across the two-day Summit, and these were the highlights of my time there.

MIGS25 was definitely not a PAX or Gamescom. It's a more focused conference devoted to connecting businesses and people in the gaming industry. The access to contacts, studios, publishers, legal advice, and outsourcing partners is a key reason to attend.
