Caesars Entertainment Chooses Experience Over PowerPoint at IMEX America

Caesars Entertainment - Imex America - Meetings and Events

Interactive Booth Activation Designed to Help Hosted Buyers Pause, Recharge, and Reconnect During the Industry’s Largest Trade Show

LAS VEGAS–October 7, 2026– 

At this year’s IMEX America, Caesars Entertainment is taking a fresh approach to hosted buyer engagement, replacing the traditional booth presentation with an interactive experience that helps planners reset and refocus between appointments.

Held every 30 minutes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the activation will be led by Carolina Panoff of Be You Disco and will invite hosted buyers to step away from the show floor’s pace for a brief but meaningful experience focused on connection, energy, and engagement.

The initiative was born from a simple observation: hosted buyers spend much of IMEX America moving between back-to-back appointments, presentations, and networking opportunities.

Rather than adding another presentation to an already packed schedule, Caesars Entertainment created a moment planners could genuinely enjoy.

“We know hosted buyers are constantly on the go during IMEX America,” said Kelly Gleeson Smith, Senior Vice President of Sales, Caesars Entertainment.

“As an organization that creates experiences for a living, we felt there was an opportunity to give planners something different. We wanted to create a moment that helps them pause, recharge, and return to their day feeling energized and inspired.”

The activation area has been designed as a welcoming retreat within the Caesars Entertainment booth. Attendees will experience music, guided participation, and sensory elements, including an organic orange scent selected for its uplifting aroma.

The experience reflects Caesars Entertainment’s ongoing commitment to helping planners design impactful events and meetings that prioritize attendee engagement and meaningful connections.

In addition to the activation, Caesars Entertainment continues to provide planners with educational resources through its Wellness Guide, which offers event professionals practical tools and ideas for incorporating attendee-focused experiences into their meetings and events. The guide is available at https://www.caesars.com/meetings/wellness. 

As planners increasingly look for ways to create memorable attendee experiences, Caesars Entertainment believes the future of engagement goes beyond presentations and information sharing.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments let attendees pause, reconnect, and return with renewed energy.
