The ECTS organisers should hopefully have something to smile about this year, as it would appear that the event, now back at Earls Court, is again attracting the key players from the gaming industry.
An announcement today sees Konami, Ubi Soft, Capcom, THQ and Activision sign up for the show, due to take place between August 29 and 31.
“This is rapidly turning into a very exciting event indeed, with some of the biggest names in the business taking part in both parts of the show,” said Event Director Andy Lane. “We’re working hard to ensure that there will be a massive media presence to witness the huge amount of promotional activity that is being planned throughout the show. While all the core elements will be present at ECTS this year for industry players to conduct business, this new format for the event will bring back the buzz to ECTS, and make it the true European hot ticket for 2002. It really is a case of ‘watch this space’ as we release new details every week.”
The standard trade show will run in conjunction with a public area, the details of which are not yet available.
