They’re replacing E3 with a networking event in Vegas.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, once the most important video game show, got axed forever in 2023 — now, its former hosts have announced the Interactive Innovation Conference (“iicon”) this April. It’s invitation-only, billed as “A first-of-its-kind event bringing together leaders across industries to harness the transformative power of interactive entertainment” — even though the similar DICE exists.

Unlike DICE, all the biggest game companies are slated to attend this one. Remember that time E3 downsized to become a “Media & Business Summit”? It was nice and quiet!
