With the previously planned for October annual event not taking place this year due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. The PAX Australia 2020 cancellation announcement has been made across the PAX Australia social media channels and the official site.

Here's the full statement from the PAX Aus team.

It is with a heavy heart that today we announce the postponement of PAX Australia 2020, due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 in Australia and globally.

Our thoughts are with our PAX community and everyone who helps us to deliver this incredible event each year. The aim since the beginning has always been to put on the best possible version of PAX Aus, provide a safe space for our community to gather, share our passion with each other and create new and lasting memories with those who matter to you most. We have been working hard with our partners and exhibitors to explore all viable options but with our desire to bring you the best PAX Aus ever, the next edition of PAX Aus will now take place in 2021.

While we can’t move forward with PAX Aus 2020 in the way we normally would, we are finding new and exciting ways to connect you and the PAX community with your favourite content and creators. Stay tuned to our social media channels in the coming days as we start to announce more information.

We want to thank you all for your ongoing support and understanding during this challenging time. While we can’t be physically together this year, we urge you to stay in touch with us, your community and each other.

Stay safe and be kind.

PAX Aus Team

As per above planning for the next PAX Australia in 2021 is now underway, with the team looking to fill the void with something digital later in the year.
