September 4, 2026•3 min
The first week of September is bringing developers, publishers, and industry leaders together across Seattle, and Xsolla will be there for it all. From indie-focused meetups to PAX West, we're showing up with three sponsorships, three big industry events, and a full week of conversations with developers, partners, and peers.
Featured Sponsor at SLICE 2026
We're kicking off the week as a Featured Sponsor of SLICE, the one-day B2B conference hosted by Seattle Indies, on Wednesday, September 2, at McCaw Hall in Seattle. Designed for indie and AA developers, SLICE brings together panels, lectures, roundtables, micro-talks, and networking for a full day of practical insights and industry connections. Xsolla has been a recurring sponsor of Seattle Indies events, and this year we’re taking a more active role. Our team will host a panel, “The Influencer Trap: Why Most Creator Campaigns Fail (And How to Fix Yours),” focused on creator-led marketing, and will also meet with potential clients and partners throughout the event. Beyond programming, our Business Development team will use SLICE to advance opportunities, build relationships, and connect with developers seeking ways to grow their businesses.MIX Fall Showcase
We’re also sponsoring The MIX Fall Showcase on Friday, September 4, at Block 41 in Seattle. It's The MIX's signature showcase format, where developers demo their games directly to the industry, now in Seattle for PAX West week.Charity Stream Zone at PAX West
The LANFest Charity Stream Zone at PAX West is another key part of Xsolla’s Seattle lineup. Running September 4–7, the charity activation will feature creators broadcasting live from the show across all four days, with Xsolla working alongside LANFest to bring women creators into the streaming lineup. The activation ties to our Women Built bundle, which launches Xsolla Mall on Friday, September 4, the same day The MIX Fall Showcase opens. The bundle features titles from women-led and women-founded studios in partnership with Dames 4 Games and the Girls Make Games Scholarship Fund.More ways to connect with us
