WE DID IT!!!!!
Emi here, GaymerX Photography and Social! <3
Thanks to everyone who came out and played with us!
This year’s event was so magical and we know it’s because of the time we spent with all of you.
We had such amazing attendees, staff, sponsors, panelists, exhibitors, performers, bosses, and a great hotel crew that brought it together in the best way.
Our team has been resting and working hard behind the things to help share what it was like to be there, but in the meantime you can check out these great posts about GaymerX Year Four!
Now that GX4 has come to a close, we’re turning our focus to making GaymerX East have the best first year we can. Don’t forget that tickets are on sale now, and our Early Bird price is only $40!

Feeling super inspired by GX4 and want to share that with our attendees? We decided to extend our panel submissions to the 14th! That’s Friday, so you still have two days to put something together and send it our way. We love new voices so please submit even if you’re feeling shy!

What’s coming after GX East? GX Australia of course! Our international friends are back again to bring you all another year of down under gay gaming.

Hey gaymers!
The time has certainly flown since our last update: there are only two weeks left before GaymerX Year Four begins! Since our last update we’ve been hard at work getting ready for the con, and we can't wait to share our best weekend yet with you
We’re also happy to announce that Microsoft will have presents for all of you who come to GaymerX. We can’t talk too much about the goodies yet- we don’t want to spoil the surprise- but we can tell you that we’re going to have a special surprise for Xbox users. You’ll find out more soon!!
Oh, and speaking of Microsoft: last week we announced our very first east coast event at the Microsoft Technology Center! We’re coming to NYC for two days of games, dev, and community building with all of you and it’s gonna be great. Submissions are open for panels and our Indie Space, and we’ll be revealing more information as we get closer to the event. We made a cute subdomain so you can keep up with everything as we announce it at http://east.gaymerx.com
That’s all from us for now. Don’t forget that if you have any question can reach out to us at anytime via [email protected]. See you soon at GaymerX Year Four!!!

Hey Gaymers!
We are now accepting Panel and
Speaker Submissions until July 15th!
Do you want to give a talk about your video game dev retrospective?
Have a skill you want to teach others like podcasting, branding or streaming?
Want to host a meetup for fellow artists/programmers/Dragon Age fans? Or maybe you have experience, but don't want to host the talk yourself.
GaymerX has you covered! We've just extended our programming submissions until July 15th!
We especially want to hear from POC! Our Diversity Liaison, Tanya DePass, has some words to say on this matter.
I’m putting on my Diversity Liaison hat before I start waving at you for a moment of your time. GaymerX Year 4 is coming up this fall and programming suggestions are open until July 15th. Convention content comes from the community. We want and need more POC on panels that are NOT just about diversity.
We know there’s a great community of game makers, podcasters, cosplayers, artists, musicians and more who should submit programming items for GX4! There’s more to our stories than being a marginalized identity within another marginalized identity.
We love games, all facets of making them. So bring your knowledge to GX4 and let’s make this year better for representation across all programming and events September 30 - October 2nd Thank you,
Tanya DePass GaymerX Diversity Liaison [email protected]
Now that you're fired up about speaking at GaymerX, let's get you some links!
Okay, all, this is super important! Not only is Donna Prior an awesome RPG Boss from Green Ronin who will be joining us in playing tabletop games throughout the weekend but she is also running Orca Con!
Orca Con is an inclusive tabletop convention in Washington and the KICKSTARTER IS LIVE RIGHT NOW!! So make sure you back them so that you can check out this awesome event!!
David Gaider
David Gaider
Formerly BioWare's lead Dragon Age writer and currently BeamDog working on Baldur's Gate franchise. (Yes, the Baldur's Gate) David now returns to us as our Grand Marshall!
Well, that's the title we're currently giving the guy who's not only responsible for some of the best games writing the world's ever seen through the Dragon Age series but also a man who's been to more GaymerX's than some of our staff!
(Lookin' at you, Toni)
Mark Barlet
We're extremely excited to be bringing Mark Barlet, founder of the AbleGamers Charity! AbleGamers have done a lot over the years to make gaming more accessible and we're super proud to have Mark joining us!
Brandon McGill
Brandon McGill, artist and creator, will be joining us this year offering his incredible body painting talent to GaymerX fans! Make sure you stop by to get a little, or a lot, of his surreal and vivid artistry on yourself!
AETHERNAUT
If you went to the first GaymerX you might recall an awesome chiptune artist who whipped out a violin and started playing it during his set. Well that's the one and only Aethernaut! One of our long time favorite musicians, Aethernaut's been so close to the family he's debuted songs at GaymerX and even did some tracks for Read Only Memories! Expect to hear him perform this year!
