UK Industry Game Shows like E3?

[SalamanderJoe]

It's quite a common question within my Uni game art group. We were meant to be going on a weekend trip to one as part of expanding what we can learn from present and future gaming, but after our student union rep actually got looking, we couldn't really find any. (Except Manchester and London EXPO but that has such a high focus of anime and comics)

Now compare that to the US with E3, PAX, VGA and X10. (to an extent) Now I know the US is a big game maker, but the UK has a large development of games as well.

Opinions UK escapees? Does the UK need its own E3? Or atleast a unqiue game floor-show?

I believe that Leipzig is the big European one.

Eurogamer? I also went to something called Game Stars Live once, it sucked. We need our own E3!!

We should really. London is big enough. Heck even my Uni city of Norwich is big enough.
