Hewlett Packard Enterprise President and CEO Antonio Neri is scheduled to speak at the first corporate business presentation at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
Conventions
While COMDEX was the dominant convention in the 1990s and CES has been huge for gadgets since then, the city’s largest trade show now deals with the automotive industry.
The fast-rising sport gets its moment in the sun with its own convention in the convention capital of the world.
Open to the general public and set to take place from July 11 to 17, the convention will be held at the newly renovated Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
The nearly 2-year renovation of 2.1 million square feet of convention space added new tropical designs and technology.
By the time the renovation phase begins in 2020, a new, 600,000-square-foot exhibit hall will be open, which will enable the LVCVA to accommodate trade shows and meetings while working on improvements to the existing facilities.
The NFL’s premiere game generally occurs in the first week of February, right around one of the sweet spots for some major conventions and trade shows.
United Airlines will add flights to Las Vegas during CES, Jan. 6-7 and Jan. 11-12, to and from eight cities and using larger aircraft on some routes.
