The 2008 E3 Media and Business Summit has come and gone, along with many mixed feelings about the show itself. Drastically toned down compared to previous showings, this year's E3 was marked with a smaller space, fewer games and fewer companies represented. After a one year relocation to Santa Monica in 2007, E3 returned to its traditional spot at the Los Angeles Convention Center but had nowhere near the impact it once had. Many attendees commented on how drab and desolate the show felt and speculated that 2008 might be the last year for E3.
However, reports have surfaced online that a representative from the Entertainment Software Association has commented that E3 will have at least one more showing next year, though no solid details have been given. We contacted the ESA to confirm these details but a representative was not available. Instead, we contacted the Los Angeles Convention Center and spoke with a booking agent to see what sort of events were taking place next year in July. At the time this article was written, the ESA has not yet booked any space at the LACC, though this could mean a number of things, including an alternate event site or a change in scheduling.
