Reviving a trade show after a three-year hiatus and a global pandemic always presents challenges, which is why we conducted an extensive search (in consultation with ESA member companies) to determine the best partner to produce E3. In choosing ReedPOP as our partner, we were able to tap into their rich history of hosting popular industry events, like PAX, and broader consumer shows, like Comic Con.

They have made strong progress in reshaping the event and have received tremendous support from companies of all sizes in the industry who are thinking not only about E3 2023 but also how E3 fits in. with marketing plans for 2024 and beyond.

We will share news and developments regarding E3 as they become available. If you have questions in the meantime, feel free to contact me. Thanks for your support.
