This Thursday, our Executive Director joins the mainstage in Las Vagas to explore how the hospitality industry’s most compelling concepts are evolving into dense, culture-driven ecosystems where space is fluid, programs overlap, and every square foot needs to earns its place.

Guest rooms become minimal anchors, while the real experience unfolds in culturally embedded social zones that connect travellers to the neighbourhood, to local businesses, to the city, and to each other.

Thursday, May 7: 12:45 PM - 01:45 PM, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

Free and open to the public until this Thursday, April 9
Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Join us if you want a clearer understanding of what light can actually do.
