CES owner to create copycat E3?

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA(R)), the owner and producer of the International CES(R), the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, announced today that it is forming an advisory committee to solicit gaming industry feedback and explore the viability of a West Coast event in late spring 2007 focused on the gaming and entertainment marketplace.

It appears that they will be striving for the same goals as the ‘old’ school E3. Like E3, a potential convention would reside on the West coast, and take place in the Spring. Seeing as CES is the most popular tech convention on this side of the Earth, a potential gaming convention is certainly viable.
