Staying in Melbourne: As this is a very busy time of year in Melbourne, we strongly suggest you book your accommodation early. PAX Aus has secured some great rates through our partner, Ozaccom. See our Hotel and Travel page or click here: Ozaccom Bookings - PAX Australia 2014

International badges cannot be resold. BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) Badges: BYOC badges are available for those wishing to bring their own computer and leave it at PAX Aus during the three day period, securing your own ‘space’.
