Large companies such as Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo should also participate in IICON.
The American Game Association ESA, which you can know first of all as the organizers of the extinct E3 fair, is again a word. Today he presented a new event to partially replace E3, but at the same time to offer a little different, for example, the GDC conference. We learned detailed information thanks to Venturebeat magazine.
The event is called Innovation Conference, and the organizers represent it under the reduction of IICON. Its content consists in the representation of seer, discussions, seminars and opportunities for meeting people from industry. It is clear from the description that the conference will be focused on a professional audience, and not on the general public. Moreover, we are talking not only about games, and events should have a coincidence with films, music, television, but also in a rather distant area, such as sport, health, education, finances and much more.
The organizers already have a strong participation. IICON should visit large companies such as Sony (or SIE), Microsoft, Nintendo (or its American branch), Square Enix, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, Electronic Arts, Epic Games, Warner Bros. Games, games Amazon or Disney.
The first year IICON is scheduled for April 27-30, 2026. Unlike E3, it will take place in the largest city of Nevada in Las -Vegas, as well as at the CES technology fair. Nevertheless, he will only be able to participate in it, so the number of visitors will probably be quite limited.
