GaymerX

GaymerX is the first LGBTQ-focused gaming convention. For its fourth year, the event will take place under the name GX4 (or “GaymerX: Year Four”). GX4 celebrates a space where all can join in discussion, play, and community without fear of harassment or discomfort for being who and what they are. GX4 will take place September 30-October 2, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center & Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, California.

The event is broken up into three main attractions:
Talks covering fandom, industry, diversity, and everything in between from respected members of the game industry -- including Tim Cain, (producer, lead programmer and designer of Fallout), Karin and Patrick Weekes (editor and writer from Bioware), and many more.

Special events such as dances, concerts, cosplay contests, and fancy parties featuring special guests like Kitty Powers (Kitty Powers: Matchmaker), voice actor Dave Fennoy (World of Warcraft, Bayonetta, DOTA2), Wynton “Prog” Smith (Smash Bros. commentator), and 2 Mello (Composer) -- as well as a host of DJs, dancers, entertainers, and comedians.

Gaming rooms including 8-player Smash Bros., a dedicated tabletop room where you can play hundreds of specially selected board games, an arcade full of unique indie games and fan favorites -- and even our own fully functional Pokemon League with gyms, leaders, and badges!
