Twitch Booth Stage and Stream
Every year, the Twitch booth is your shining purple beacon in the sea of humanity that is PAX. If you’re attending the show, join us at booth #1909 where we’ll be featuring lots of fun gameplay, interviews, and competitions including the sure-to-be epic PJSaltan: ZOO PARTY.
Mobile games are on the rise on Twitch! Stop by to play the game that started it all; Vainglory — the MOBA perfected for touch. The first 50 people at the Vainglory Game Zone get a Twitch Pin. Make sure to sign up for in-game unlocks!
Intel Streamer Zone
We know Twitch partners miss streaming for their fans when traveling, just as much as fans miss their favorite streamers. That’s why Twitch has partnered up with Intel to bring the Intel Streamer Zone to all our events in 2016. A full schedule of who’s streaming and when will be posted at the booth. This is also where you can meet and greet featured partners and get those Kappa Cards signed.
Twitch Partner Lounge
We have a lot of Twitch streamers coming to events these days to hang out with Twitch and each other. In fact, over 500 stream partners have signed up to join us at PAX! Since not everyone can fit at the main Twitch booth, we have partnered up with H1Z1: King of the Kill and Reese’s to help provide a hangout spot they can chill at. Twitch partnered streamers are welcome to relax and network here, play or stream H1Z1: King of the Kill, and take photos. Fans are welcome to swing by to catch photos of their favorite broadcasters and play H1Z1: King of the Kill on elite gaming machines from iBUYPOWER hooked up with peripherals from Corsair Gaming. First 100 people there each day get a Twitch/H1Z1: King of the Kill Swag bag.
PAXPort Challenge
We know you love swag, but not everyone can make it in person to the show. So, to bring that swag goodness to the fine folks watching from home, we bring you the PAXPort Challenge. Click here and Enter To Win today for one of two daily prize packs with cool stuff from Twitch, Intel, Vainglory, Corsair, and iBUYPOWER.
