Welcome back to E3! This is the 23rd edition of the expo, and the first one in many years open to the public.

This thread provides an overview of the event and how to get the most out of it. New this year is an Attendees section due to the show being public this year.

What: The world's premier trade show for computer and video games
When: June 13 - 15, 2017 (press conferences start June 10)
Where: Los Angeles Convention Center
How: Live streams or via attendance
Website: https://www.e3expo.com / https://www.e3insider.com​
The spotlight this year will likely be on Microsoft and the reveal of Project Scorpio. Of course, great experiences and surprises from Nintendo and Sony are to be expected as well.
We'll have the first good look at Super Mario Odyssey and Sony is bound to share more details on big titles such as God of War, Spider-Man and Days Gone.
EA and Ubisoft will have a lot to share as well, so I think it's gonna be a great show.

E3 Special Notes and Policy Reminders

Special Notes:

1.) During E3 (Saturday, June 10th *through* Thursday, June 15th) all reaction threads will be locked. A reaction thread consists of such things as "Wow Sony just won E3!", "God of War has the best graphics ever!", "Is the PS4 doomed now?", "Where is Final Fantasy VII?? Where's Kingdom Hearts 3!?", "Are you buying an Xbox One now?", "Does Warner Bros have anything left? They announced so many games!", "Does Nintendo have the best Western third party support of any console?", or anything else that is just a thread about immediate reactions to events. For the duration, these threads will be locked on sight. If you feel you have somethings important to say on these matters, either ask in the main conference threads, or write-up a really good thread on it and post it on Friday, June 16th.

2.) If you post a news thread, make sure it contains actual details of the news at hand. If your thread is simply Title: "OMG ANIMAL CROSSING 3DS 2 ANNOUNCED!" Body: "ON THE STREAM!" your thread may be locked and we reserve the right to junior you, since this goes against normal thread policies anyway.

3.) Do not post new news from E3 in a pre-E3 thread. Either make a new thread, or pick an existing thread made during E3.

Policy Reminders:

1.) Do not complain about the purpose of a thread. This includes complaining about people judging gameplay in a gameplay video thread, judging graphics in a screenshot thread, or calling something too nitpicky or biased in a review/technical analysis/critique thread. Instead, if you disagree, either post the reason (in detail) that you disagree with the point being made ("I think the graphics look great, just look at the shadowing and texture detail!", "I don't notice frame hitching at 60 fps personally, so it doesn't bother me.", "In my experience with the game, I found the encounter design to be great actually, for example..."), or simply avoid the thread if you feel you are unable to.

2.) If you feel there's a problem with someone breaking the rules, simply PM a mod and do not engage. There are only ~20 mods and tens of thousands of posts a day, so we simply cannot be everywhere and see every infraction without your help.

Other Notes:

1.) All other rules obviously still apply. For specifics, see our FAQ forum and the Terms of Service. For general information on how to post in high volume, high tension situations, read this note by EviLore.

2.) If you have any questions, please PM a moderator. If a question comes up frequently, we will post an update here. If not, you will receive an answer via PM. Due to volume, your answer may not be immediate.

Do not use a fictitious name. The name on your ID and the name on your badge must be the same. E3 Show Management and/or E3 Security Officers may request attendees show ID at any time.

How do I get to Los Angeles Convention Center?

Check here for information on various ways to travel to LACC: https://www.e3expo.com/attendee/2906/attendee-housing-travel/

Complimentary shuttle bus service is available to all E3 Attendees who have booked reservations in the official hotel room block.

Click to expand...
Where should I park when I arrrive at the LACC?

The Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) has 5500 parking spaces with easy public access. The parking fee is $25/day. In addition to the LACC parking, there are multiple lots available nearby, including at L.A. Live adjacent to the LACC.

What dining options are available at the LACC?

Concessions schedule and availability are subject to each show. Best is probably to check http://www.discoverlosangeles.com/what-to-do/restaurants for a good guide on LA food culture. That way you can see more of Los Angeles than its Convention Center.

Any particular items I should bring to E3

I would recommend bringing these items:

  • Deodorant
  • Water Bottle
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Comfortable Shoes

Discord rooms for at least the conferences of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo should be provided. I won't post the address to these here directly.

If you are in need of a good press hub to download assets from, I suggest you take a look at (quote to see). Please don't send an application if you are not a journalist however.

One site that can also be very useful during E3 is Business Wire: http://www.businesswire.com

Here's the list of news sources:

Gaming/tech media

General media

All of these attended E3 last year, so there should be news about the event coming.

Some things, such as who will be creating the threads for each press conference, need to be confirmed. I will continue to update the thread, though June 10 (Saturday) I will be occupied with some other things so I may not be in time for EA's press conference. But all other days I will have uninterrupted access.

Damn, OP did an amazing job making the thread.

Looking forward to Scorpio reveal, Sony exclusives, and whatever Nintendo has up their sleeves the most this year.

Thank you for making this comprehensive thread!

Tiny thing though: the colours for Tuesday and Wednesday in the timetable are the same, Wednesday should be green.

I believe so, yes. You could always post it earlier though and ask a moderator to lock it until the press conference is about to start.

I've corrected that now, and the time for Sony's press conference. As far as I can tell it's 5 PM PDT and not 6 PM PDT as the timetable earlier said.

Is there a decent amount of parking at the convention center (5500 sounds like a lot, but I've never been so idk)? Is there a parking pass for all 3 days or do you just pay as you enter? Hours?

Question for E3 pros. I am scheduled to work Wednesday at my job. I got a free pass due to PlayStation thing. I'm trying to get my Wednesday covered.

If I can't. Is there any difference goin Tuesday (the first day) from 12-6 or Thursday 10-5? Is any preferable. Will either day have specific advantages. Thanks for the answers.

Sony press conference is 6 PM, but Sony is also hosting a 1 hour pre-show with (smaller) announcements.

Click to expand...

I've been to a few cons there. You pay as you enter so if you go 3 days that's $75 deep. My advice is to find other local parking lots near the convention, they generally run $10-15 for the day and the walking distance isn't too far. It isn't too bad if you go with others and everyone chips in for parking.

Will there be a spoiler free thread with links to watch the conferences that already happened in the OP? I'm going to miss some and don't want to open Gaming Discussion as it'll be full of announcement titles.
