This year’s E3 Expo will progress as planned despite travel warnings prompted by the outbreak of the swine flu virus.
The trade show, which attracts industry figures from all over the world, will take place in Los Angeles this June. The event's organiser, the European Software Association (ESA), has insisted that it will go ahead as planned, despite world health officials’ efforts to discourage nonessential travel to parts of the United States.
"The 2009 E3 Expo is progressing as planned. Public health officials are taking all appropriate steps and we continue to follow their direction on all measures," said ESA spokesman Dan Hewitt. "We look forward to a great event, and to seeing you in Los Angeles in June."
E3 2009 will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Centre from June 2 to June 4.
