E3 may refer to any of the following:

Electronic Entertainment Expo

1. Short for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, E3 is a trade fair for the video game industry that happens each year in June at the Los Angeles Convention Center. At this event, hardware and software developers show off their latest games, game consoles, and other upcoming products.

The first E3 was held in 1995, and only members of the video game industry were allowed to attend. Over two decades later, in 2017, 15,000 general-admittance passes were made available to the public. In 2023, the organizers announced that E3 2023 would be canceled.
