Convention Insider (Conventions.net)

Yesterday was a travel day for me of sorts.  I traveled back in time to when I was a kid in school but out on Summer break.  I talk about my kids frequently, and they are an inspiration to me.  They allow me to see things when I get caught up in the world of being an responsible adult.  Yesterday was no different.  It is summer time in my household, which means all four of my children are home from school and in the mode of complete “boredom”. If children are not being constantly entertained by the latest video game or being challenged by the television to watch yet another episode of SpongeBob Sqaurepants, they seem to have nothing to do! This lead me to wonder what the convention world is doing during the summer and how we are entertaining the masses.

The perfect example as I used before is video games and entertainment which is happening right now and began yesterday in Los Angeles at the E3Expo!  The E3Expo is succinctly described as :

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is the U.S. association exclusively dedicated to serving the business and public affairs needs of companies that publish computer and video games for video game consoles, personal computers, and the Internet.

This is a mecca for all of the super geeks out there that want to get the latest info about video games, new game releases and everything video.  My kids I know would be a little like visiting the Willy Wonka Chocolate factory at an event such as this.  The event runs through Thursday, June 17, 2010 and is located at the Los Angeles Convention Center.  Get over there to give your inner child some entertainment.

The Los Angeles Convention Center is a prime location for your convention, conference, trade show, or retreat.  Just look at the schedule for March 2010!

The many exhibit halls are huge and many, as are the meeting spaces. Whether your group is large, small, or in between, the Los Angeles Convention Center is the ideal venue.

As far as overnight accommodations for your attendees and yourselves, The Los Angeles Convention Center is  close to many excellent hotels.

The convention center proves pretty much any kind of service your function might require or request, including internet connections, furniture, tables for trade shows, audio-visual equipment, etc.
