E3 2023's plans seem to make up for its previous period of absence

E3 has been a grand center stage for the gaming industry in so many ways over the years. One of the main reasons why fans had been left upset in the past due to the cancelations is the scale of the event, who now have a reason to be happy as E3 2023 will be a four-day expo.

It will start on June 13, 2023, and go on for the next four days until June 16. More importantly, there will be separate programs at E3 2023 for fan and consumer engagement. Organizers will also be promoting digital showcases from partners starting June 11. It will be interesting to see who the involved parties will be and what kind of content they will provide.

The E3 2023 business days will take place from June 13-15, which will be for the registered professionals associated with the industry. June 15-16 will be the day for consumer and fan engagement and will be held separately, aside from the business programs.

The entire event is being hosted at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC), and there's sure to be plenty of footfall. ESA had earlier explained that they want E3 2023 to be a physical event, which also seems to be the case. With a separate day for fans, the organizers have kept business separate from fun.

The mega event will be conducted by Reedpop, who have been engaged with mega events of this scale in the past. VP of Gaming Kyle Marsden-Kish shared the following words to mark the occasion, and his ambition is quite clear:

"E3 is one of the global gaming industry's few opportunities to come together, unite as one loud voice, and show the world what it is creating. Our vision is to reunite the industry by re-establishing the traditional E3 week, bring back that spark, and restore E3's role as a truly magical global showcase event for game creators and consumers."

Registration for all interested parties who want to attend the event will start in December 2022.
