No E3? No problem. Here's where to network and get games industry business done this summer
Yesterday, the Entertainment Software Association announced that the 2023 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) has been cancelled.
The event was due to take place this June 13 to 16 in Los Angeles as the first in-person E3 event since 2019 but yesterday the US’s Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and E3’s events company Reedpop announced it's outright cancellation in a public statement from Kyle Marsden-Kish, the Global VP of Gaming at ReedPop:

Fortunately PG Connects have a host of alternative events that will be going on in order to help you connect with the best developers, publishers, investors and service companies in the US and beyond this summer!
In May we have PGC Seattle, bringing together all the big names and upcoming businesses from the west coast of US (with a focus on emerging tech like AI). In June we're breaking new territory in the fast growing MENA market as we power the Dubai GameExpo Summit. And in July just before the holiday break we're returning to Toronto to connect the best of Canada and East-Coast games scene.
