Is it PAX east? Because I know the regular PAX isn't for a while.

I think it's probably pax east then. It's at the very end of march I think. Anyway, for the uninformed, PAX is:

"The Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) is an annual gamer festival held in Washington state, USA. PAX was created by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, the authors of the Penny Arcade webcomic, because they wanted to attend a show that gave equal attention to console gamers, computer gamers, and tabletop gamers.

Created in 2004, PAX has nearly doubled in size each successive year and has been hailed as a weekend-long celebration of gamer culture. Defining characteristics include an insider keynote speech, game-inspired concerts, panels on game industry topics, exhibitor booths, after-hours parties, tournaments, and freeplay areas.

Jerry Holkins has said that "PAX and Child's Play will outlive Penny Arcade. Substantially."^[1]

After many years of success with PAX West, 2010 will bring the first PAX East Coast, in Boston, MA, with preregistrations for tickets indicating that it may be bigger than any other previous PAX conventions held in past years."

 

Yeah it's Pax East which will be held in Boston. I don't know if anything new will be shown because E3 will be only a couple of months away.

The companies that are announced so far are: 2k Games, Dell, EA, Harmonix, Microsoft, Nintendo, Nvidia, Rockstar Games, Sega, Ska Studios, The Behemoth, Turbine, Twisted Pixels, Ubisoft. Expect more companies to be there.

You also got Panels there and some musical acts.
