IDG World Expo announced its newest event today, and it sounds a lot like E3. The first Entertainment for All Expo or E for All Expo is scheduled for October 18th to 20th of this year and will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the same venue E3 was held. E for All Expo will offer consumers the opportunity to test-drive the latest in games and gadgetry, as well as purchase products they enjoyed over the course of the 3-day event at on-site retail facilities. Additional attractions are in the works, including high-profile video game tournaments; job fair/networking opportunities; family-friendly offerings; and the acclaimed Video Games Live concert. The Expo will also take advantage of soon-to-be-expanded LA Live area adjoining the LA Convention Center and Staples Center. The event has also been endorsed by the ESA, which runs E3. So why do we keep mentioning E3? It's because the event sounds very similar to what E3 was before the changes were made after this past year's event. It looks like the IDG saw the new gap in consumer video game events and found a way to fill it. To find out more information on the event, you can go to www.eforallexpo.com and fill out the mailing list form to stay up to date. Currently, there is no information on what exhibitors will be there or what the cost of tickets will be. We'll have updates on that as they become available to us.
