Texan governor for E3 speech
Bizarre E3 keynote revealed
- by Luke Guttridge
- 20 may 2008
Texas Governor Rick Perry will deliver a keynote speech at this year's E3 expo. No, we're not sure why either.
"Governor Perry and the E3 Media & Business Summit are both great success stories. The Governor’s keynote address is especially timely given the high concentration of entertainment software developers and publishers in Texas as well as the state’s long-standing support of our industry," commented ESA’s Michael Gallagher.
"The Governor’s forward-thinking leadership in encouraging the growth and development of our $18 billion industry is a roadmap for other state executives who want to transform their state economies for the 21st century."
Although Texas may be a hot bed of development talent, we're unsure what Perry knows about the games industry, so we'll find out at the expo, which runs from July 15th to 17th.
