E3 2006

It's almost that time again. E3 is opening its doors this May 10-12 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Online registration ends this Friday, April 28 so if you want to go you better turn up the warp drive.

Here's a little snippet from their website www.e3expo.com :

Hear the industry's top creatives speak about their upcoming games, including Spore designer Will Wright, God of War 2 lead David Jaffe, and Metal Gear Solid 4 creator Hideo Kojima.

Other recognized developers in this program include Doom 3 lead designer Tim Willits, Killer 7 designer Gouichi Suda of grasshopper manufacture, Junction Point founder Warren Spector, Lionhead founder Peter Molyneux, Lumines designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, and Tabula Rasa designer Richard Garriott.

The list of creatives is complemented by an equally impressive lineup of corporate and business development strategists including Electronic Arts Senior VP and Managing Director Asia Jon Niermann, Executive Vice President of MTV Networks Music and Logo Enterprise Group Jeff Yapp, and Buena Vista Games Senior VP and General Manager Graham Hopper.

Recent additions to the program include Bethesda Game Studios Executive Producer Todd Howard (Oblivion), Ubisoft Divertissements Creative Director Clint Hocking, and KBC Securities (Japan) analyst Hiroshi Kamide.

This year's program marks the largest group of speakers ever.


Sounds like a great show. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take time off work this year to attend, but I'm looking forward to checking out all the post-show updates.
