While most of the attention at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles may be on the exhibits that fill the show floor, those who attend the conference program will also have the chance to hear some of the game industry's best-known designers speak on a variety of game-related topics. Some of the biggest names in the conference program include Yu Suzuki, Sega's master game designer; Will Wright, the creator of the SimCity series and the best-selling PC game of all time, The Sims; Bruce Shelley, the creator of Age of Empires; Peter Molyneux, the designer of the god game Black & White; and Hideo Kojima, who is best known for creating the Metal Gear Solid series.

　　The E3 conference program will take place on May 21-23, 2002. It will feature more than 160 speakers, and it will include workshops and four main conference tracks: game development, business strategies, new trends/future trends, and life online. Each track will cater to a specific range of game-related topics.

　　E3 is an industry-only event and is not open to the general public. For more information about the conference program, visit the official E3 Web site.
