There’s more E3 2017 news coming out today with the announcement of the first-ever E3 Coliseum. The E3 Coliseum, produced by Geoff Keighley (of The Game Awards), will feature two days’ worth of panels, presentations, live demonstrations and conversations with industry leads and change makers.

The E3 Coliseum will take place on June 13-14 at The Novo at L.A. Live. This venue is just a short distance from the Los Angeles Convention Center and the event will be open to all E3 badge holders. Attendees can start lining up around 7am if they want to get into this special event. And for those who will not be at E3 2017, select panels will be streamed on Facebook where viewers will have a chance to submit questions to the panelists. The whole event will be available on Twitch, Mixer, and YouTube.

Among the special guests are James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chris Hardwick (Nerdist Podcast, @midnight), Jack Black (Tropic Thunder, Brutal Legend), and Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters).
