ESA gives E3 Expo four thumbs up.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3Expo) has been designated as the trade show with the "highest buying power" in the nation, the Entertainment Software Association(ESA), the show's owner, announced today. According to a recent surveyby Exhibit Surveys Inc., E3Expo has the largest percent of attendees who plan to purchase products exhibited at the show within six months.

Separately, the show has been honored with awards for "Best Show Daily," "Best Overall Web Site," and "Best Email Promotion Campaign" by the International Association of Exhibit Managers (IAEM). The show is the 31st largest trade show in the country, according to TradeShow Week Magazine's "Tradeshow 200" current rankings.

First held in 1995, the E3Expo is the world's largest trade event exclusively dedicated to showcasing interactive entertainment and educational software and related products. In 2004, the E3Expo celebrated its 10th anniversary, and hosted more than 400 exhibitors in 540,000 net square feet of exhibit space -- a total sell-out for the show. Sixty-five thousand industry professionals from 87 countries around the globe gathered at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) for the four-day interactive entertainment trade show. E3Expo 2005 is scheduled for May 18-20, 2005, in Los Angeles. For more information, please visit http://www.e3expo.com.
