GaymerX or GX (originally to be named "GaymerCon") is a fan-facing, LGBT-oriented gaming and geek culture convention founded by Matt Conn, a gay man who felt larger gaming conventions like E3 were, at the time, unwelcoming places for LGBT gamers.

The first instance of GaymerX was financed through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, and occurred on August 3 and 4, 2013 in San Francisco, California.
