Agree. It seems to me like PAX would be a perfect time for ANet (& NCSoft) to release some GW2 info, or begin to. Aion's buzz will have reached peak - which I think it's already riding now, and will be releasing just a bit over two weeks later. It's foreseeable that they'd want to start building the hype for their next big thing. I won't expect anything major if so, but maybe some additional concept art and posters. Maybe we'll get lucky with things on the major side like screenshots, trailers or actual gameplay. That's a bit of a dream I suppose. Sure would be nice though

Especially if they use PAX as a way to rope more people towards AION.

"Hey, Guild Wars fan, come check out the new GW2 stuff, and btw we have computers over there to play Aion. Enjoy!"

It's because I like conventions.

I've been helping to run relatively large-scale fandom conventions for over 10 years, which is something I've done for fun/hobby.

Though being an exhibitor at a con is a different experience from actually running a con.

Last year, around this time of year, ArenaNet came out and made a very clear statement "We will not be showing GW2 at PAX". They have not (so far) made that statement again this year, and have generally avoided the topic and been vague about the whole thing, combined with the Facebook stuff (apparently will be used for something big) and "More info on GW2 later this year".

Do your bosses buck up for foam padding though?

There's still plenty of time for that

Indeed =)
Funny thing of optimism is:
it doesn't really always help you out, but it annoys enough people to make it worth your while

Whoopsie, Gamescon looks cool also too bad I amm in Poland on a training camp when it takes place

Do. Not. Tempt. Me.

It's not the £80+accomodation which is the problem, it's the time!

To everyone thinking about going: don't miss this opportunity to share a drink with Martin! I mean to enjoy a great Community Manager

I'm going to mention this to a good friend in Hamburg (the one who enjoyed my second Eve statue and GW artbook

)
