The leading live event conference and expo of the year, XLIVE, just kicked off yesterday in Las Vegas!

Now on its second day at the famous Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, the live event and festival conference will run until Wednesday, December 13th. One of the biggest and most highly anticipated events of 2017, XLIVE will highlight everything from music, food and beverage festivals to sports and beyond.

Through the years, XLIVE has never failed to open a global platform for participants to discuss the most recent topics and explore the future of live event operations together with the most inspiring names in the business.

Panels for the conference will cover music, live sports, food and beverage, Esports, branding tracks, and technology while providing all attendees the opportunity to participate in two intensive workshops that will tackle Data & Analytics and Mergers & Acquisitions.

Also, attendees will get the chance to attend that D&A workshop, an extension of the widely successful Data and Analytics Summit which took place this past spring in Los Angeles. With the D&A workshop, participants of the event will get to hear from top luminaries the best practices for collecting and analyzing customer data to improve monetization opportunities.

With three full days to go, XLIVE will introduce several new and exciting initiatives to the already-stacked conference. This is to ensure that the event will be able to deliver an all-encompassing experience filled with arts and networking opportunities.
