A Gary Sunkin Report - E3 Expo
The 12th Annual E3 Expo is now under way at the Los
Angeles Convention Center. The Expo runs from May
10 and runs through May 12, 2006 to a sold
out crowd
of more than 400 exhibitors
covering space equivalent to more than 40
olympic
swimming pools. The
40,000
net square feet of space,
covers all five exhibit
halls..
The tenth anniversary
Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3Expo)
came to a close today having hosted
more
than 400 exhibitors in
540,000 net square feet of exhibit space,
a
total sell out for the show,
the Entertainment Software
Association
(ESA) announced today.
Sixty-five thousand industry professionals
from
a record 87 countries around
the globe gathered at the Los
Angeles
Convention Center (LACC) for
the four-day interactive
entertainment
trade show.
In addition to the
industry-only attendees, hundreds of
thousands
of game enthusiasts from
around the globe flocked to
E3Insider
(www.e3insider.com), the
show's official "virtual gateway"
for
consumers. In less than five
days, E3Insider logged more than
600,000
unique users and 10 million
page views. The Web site is a unique
attempt to bring the
experience and never-before-seen products of
the
preeminent interactive
entertainment trade show to
worldwide
audiences. Now in its second
year, the site offered the Web's
most
comprehensive coverage of
E3Expo through an exclusive unedited
"fan
cam" that captured the event
from the perspective of an avid
gamer,
offering interactive
coverage, photo galleries, video clips, news
from
exhibitors, and interviews
with industry leaders.

We
are pleased that E3Expo's 12th anniversary show
was such a
success, and offer our
sincere thanks to the many people who
have
helped make it the world's
premier interactive entertainment
trade
event over the past decade,"
said Douglas Lowenstein, president of
the
ESA, the trade association
that owns E3Expo and represents U.S.
computer and video game
publishers. "We look forward to another
ten
years of providing
exhibitors and attendees with the best place in
the
world to conduct the
business of games, and to experiencing
the
extraordinary technological,
artistic, and creative advancements
our
industry will achieve in the
decade to come."
Of
the exhibiting companies at this year's event,
183 were new
additions, reflecting the
continuing vibrancy of the show and
high-levels of interest in
the games business. According to
exhibitors, approximately
1,000 of the nearly 5,000 computer and
video
game products displayed at
E3Expo 2004 had never been seen
before.
Exhibitors also reported
that almost three-quarters (72 percent)
of
the products displayed at
this year's event would be found on
store
shelves this holiday
season.
The
2005 E3Expo conference program was the best
attended in the
show's ten-year history.
This year's educational conference
and
workshop program featured a
faculty of more than 160 of the
industry's
leading experts who shared
their experience and insight with
attendees
on a wide range of the most
current and critical industry
issues,
including The New Rules of
Business; Game Development:
Opportunities
and Challenges Ahead; and
Online, Mobile, Handheld Games:

Measure of Their Gaming
Growth.
