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.
The downtown Las Vegas casino-resort will open 35,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting space on Sept. 1.
The Las Vegas City Council unanimously approved the monorail agreement for the project, paving way for the underground transportation system featuring a fleet of Teslas to include five initial downtown stops.
Las Vegas visitation numbers tell the same story with hotel occupancy rates staying average, but resort operators managing to keep average daily room rates at their highest level in the pandemic era.
“The demand for everything related to home is just really strong at retail and that was apparent here,” said Bob Maricich, CEO of International Market Centers, said of the home furnishings trade show.
With conventiongoers and visitors beginning to return to Las Vegas, one restaurant at World Market Center is showing glimmers of a strong recovery.
