A tour of Las Vegas nightclubs will also take attendees through JEWEL, Hakkasan, and Omnia. Here, they will see how each showcases their style of audiovisual guest experiences, from automation to lights, visuals and sound.

Gerardo Gonzalez, senior director, technical services for Tao Group Hospitality, will lead this experience.
In addition, a tour of Omega Mart will take visitors inside the interactive art installation created by Meow Wolf. The installation features contributions from over 300 artists. It begins in a supermarket and leads to a network of media-rich spaces and storytelling that comments on consumerism and corporate culture. The tour also looks at the technology that powers the Portal at AREA15. AREA15 is a 4K, 360-degree 3D floor-to-ceiling projection-mapped indoor event space. This tour is led by AREA15’s JD Bouck, director of production, and Jacob Roeber, senior production manager.
