E3 Conference Program attendees will have three opportunities to get close to the Matrix/Shiny/Infogrames story at this years E3 show. Shiny founder and president David Perry will sit on two E3 conference panels on Day Three of the suddenly star-packed program, and Infogrames biz dev maestro Steve Allison, VP of Marketing of Infogrames L.A Studio, will sit across the inquisitors table in a Charlie Rose-like interview on the conference programs opening day, May 14.
