Under the revamped format, the first two days of E3 2023 will be reserved exclusively for business. The third day will welcome both business and consumer visitors, while the final day will be dedicated to consumers.One-half of the LA Convention Center will be entirely dedicated to business, with “quieter, more comfortable booths” and areas to network. ReedPop also hopes to reopen Kentia Hall, a basement area not used for some years, for business purposes.
The other half of the LACC will be “the spectacular E3 that you’re used to”, and for the first two days will also be for business attendees only. In addition, E3 2023 will feature a new dedicated meeting space where attendees can connect using the E3 app and hold meetings. For consumers, ReedPop says the 2023 show will be more accessible for indies and indie publishers to showcase titles in the Concourse Hall, and it’s also planning elements outside of the LACC, plus numerous game presentations will run during these days that fans can watch in-person or online.
E3 owner The ESA had previously experimented with consumer elements. In 2017 it sold consumer tickets, but these were limited to 15,000 places and cost up to $250. There was also minimal separation between the consumer and business areas of the show. ReedPop said on Monday it wants to create an event that’s better for both consumers and business attendees, and partner and support with everyone announcing games around E3, irrespective of whether they’re involved officially.
