E3 is an annual gaming convention, this year taking place from June 14-16 in Los Angeles. The show is a gathering of everyone across the gaming industry, including developers, retailers, manufacturers, analysts and media. What's notable this year isn't who is going to be at the show, but rather who isn't. EA, Activision, Disney Interactive and Wargaming have all stated that they won't have their own exhibits on the show floor.
E3 is the world's premier trade show for computer, video and mobile games and related products. At E3, the video game industry's top talent pack the Los Angeles Convention Center, connecting tens of thousands of the best, brightest, and most innovative professionals in the interactive entertainment industry. For three exciting days, leading-edge companies, groundbreaking new technologies and never-before-seen products will be showcased. E3 connects you with both new and existing partners and provides unprecedented exposure to emerging markets. E3 is where new worlds of the interactive entertainment industry are inspired.
