Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is an
annual video game trade show event. The largest of its kind, E3 is
attended by thousands and is the platform for hundreds of
entertainment product unveilings every year.
This Year's
Show:
Perhaps the most anticipated video game trade event of all time,
this year's E3 promised to surpass all others. This year's show saw
the true unveiling of both Nintendo's GameCube and Microsoft's XBOX,
Sega as a third party presenter, and the offerings of over 450
gaming companies. Show coordinators anticipated this year's show to
draw over 62,000 video game executives, developers, retailers, media
representatives, investors, analysts, and enthusiasts.

E3 2001 was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from May 16
through May 19. GameCubicle created an extensive image
gallery of the event.
The natural highlight of this year's
event was Nintendo's incredible GameCube console. The moment the
doors were opened to the exhibits at the Los Angeles Convention
Center, a flood of gamers rushed to the Nintendo booth. Ever since,
Nintendo's extravagant booth has remained thoroughly occupied. Of
the many attractions, a few including the booth's design, the games
on display, the number of executives and helpful representatives,
and the bonuses, stand out as the primary crowd draws.
E3 History:
As video game company offerings began to surpass Consumer Electronic
Show (CES) capacity in the mid '90s, the need for a major standalone
American video game convention was becoming ever more apparent. The
Interactive Software Developers Association (ISDA) realized the
demand and in 1995 organized the first Electronic Entertainment
Expo.

Los Angeles Convention Center:
The Los Angeles Convention Center is one of the largest and finest
convention and exhibition facilities anywhere. The location contains
870,000 square feet of exhibit space, 64 meeting rooms, spacious
lobbies, restaurants and food courts. Two towering glass and steel
pavilions epitomize the architectural and aesthetic uniqueness of
the center. The location covers fifty-four acres of land near the
central business districts of Los Angeles.
The convention center is one of the few remaining in the nation
large enough to host the event. Electronic Entertainment Expo 2001
primarily utilized Concourse, Kentia, Petree, South, and West halls
of the convention center.
