E3 Invites Sent Out

Joystiq is reporting that the ESA has sent out their invites for this year's private "E3 Media and Business Summit", though GameBanshee was apparently not on the list as I haven't received anything. Given the changes being made to the event, I'm not sure it would be worth attending anyway.

I'd still like to hit at least one press event each year, though I'm not sure which of the alternatives would make the best choice for RPG coverage. PAX? GDC? CES? GenCon? E For All? Anybody have any recommendations?
