VenuesNow Conference 2025 (Hub)

This year’s VenuesNow Conference took over Sin City at Resorts World Las Vegas Sept. 9-11 and what better host than a city built on tourism, disposable income and — most importantly — live entertainment of all kinds. As home of the one-of-a-kind, game-changing Sphere, which has created unique opportunities for artists and guests, and somewhat suddenly home to multiple major league sports franchises in the NFL’s storied Raiders franchise and NHL’s wildly successful expansion franchise the Golden Knights, the momentum continues on the Strip and beyond in southern Nevada. This year’s VNC includes a discussion with Raiders President Sandra Douglass Morgan, who oversees the team’s business and operations at its formidable home field at Allegiant Stadium, as well as an update from Athletics President Marc Badain as the former Oakland Athletics have broken ground on a new MLB stadium on the Strip. Here, too was AJR’s Adam Met, musician, Ph.d., author, and founder of Planet Reimagined, who during a keynote conversation with OVG interim CEO Chris Granger discussed how best engage and empower fans and the industry in leading action and around the crucially ;important issue of sustainability.
