ESA Confirms Major Press Events For 2007 E3 Media Summit

With just over a month to go before July's E3 Media & Business Summit, the ESA has updated its official event website with a list of scheduled press conferences for the organization's revamped event, taking place from July 11-13. Similar to previous E3 events, the revamped show, which was first announced last October, will include a collection of smaller company-specific events. However, due to the reduced booth sizes and more selective invitations, this year's press conference will include not only Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, but several of the attending publishers and developers as well. The full list of scheduled press conferences as detailed by the ESA are as follows (all times are in PST): - Tuesday, July 10 8:30 PM - Microsoft Press Event - Wednesday, July 11 9:30 AM - Nintendo Press Conference 11:30 AM - Sony Computer Entertainment Press Conference 2:00 PM - EA Press Conference 3:15 PM - Activision Press Conference 4:30 PM - Midway Press Conference 5:45 PM - Konami Press Conference - Thursday, July 12 8:30 AM - Take Two Interactive Press Conference 9:15 AM - THQ Press Conference 10:30 AM - Ubisoft Press Conference 1:30 PM - Namco Bandai Press Conference 3:30 PM - Disney Interactive Press Conference The list represents a notable subset of the more than 30 companies recently confirmed for the event, with other publishers and developers likely to showcase new events in their show floors and suites without any particular unveiling time.
