E3 returns to LA Convention Center
Kotaku received word from the ESA that E3 will return to the Los Angeles Convention Center next year, after a short visit to Santa Monica this year.
No, don't get your hopes up, there still won't be any booth babes.
Reason for the move back to downtown LA is clear: the distance people would have to go to get from one part of the "expo" to another.
E3 2008 will again be held in July, something that's pretty bad for press that has to fly into LA as prices around that time are pretty high...

'We are very much not going back to the old E3," Rich Taylor, senior vice president of communications and research for the ESA, told me in an interview. "I think we are all on the same page for the industry on what we want those days in July to be about."
"This is the new E3, new and improved."
And that, according to Taylor, means the small, more intimate meetings of this year's E3. A toned-down affair that saw 3,000 to 4,000 attendees and whole lot less booth babes.

"We talked to many folks, participants on both the media and industry side of things, one of the overriding things they wanted was a more centralized facility," Taylor said. "That's one reason we moved back to the LA Convention Center... hotels are walking distance from the convention center, they're closer to each other..."
