However, the inaugural E3 gaming show was scheduled to be held on the West Coast in May and proved a source of increasing competition, causing the Philadelphia Summer CES show to be cancelled. However, since the summer Chicago shows were beginning to lose popularity, the organizers decided to experiment by having the show travel around to different cities starting in 1995 with a planned show in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
The winter show was successfully held in Las Vegas in 1995 as planned. From 1978 to 1994, CES was held twice each year: once in January in Las Vegas known for Winter Consumer Electronics Show (WCES) and once in June in Chicago, known as Summer Consumer Electronics Show (SCES). The event had 17,500 attenders and over 100 exhibitors the kickoff speaker was Motorola chairman Bob Galvin. It was a spinoff from the Chicago Music Show, which, until then, had served as the main event for exhibiting consumer electronics. The first CES was held in June 1967 in New York City.
