      • Electronic Game Show, known also as EGS, is the largest video game convention that takes place in Mexico. It is held each year in Mexico City, since 2002, usually during early October.
      The first edition took place during May at World Trade Center Mexico City. The 2015 edition of EGS will take place in October 2, 3 and 4 at Centro Banamex.


      History


      EGS was created by Jorge Alor, Oscar Noriega, Jorge Lizárraga and Mario Valle to increase the potential of the Mexican gaming industry, which back in 2002 was almost non-existent. Back then, none of the biggest gaming publishers and brands had direct representation in Mexico and were merely distributors.
      The first EGS was conceived by Oelli (a Mexican entertainment company), which was brought together to piece the first Electronic Game Show. This event took place during the month of May and it included presentations by several gaming and non-gaming brands.
