Event Tech Live Opens Registration for First In-Person U.S. Show; Unveils New Competition and Call for Speakers
January 19, 2023
Event Tech Live (ETL), which was founded 10 years ago and has been held annually in London, is revving up for its grand in-person entrance in the U.S. with a Las Vegas edition this spring—the only conference and exhibition in the country focused exclusively on event technology.
Registration is now open for Event Tech Live, Las Vegas, which will take place April 26-27 at The Expo at World Market Center. As with Event Tech Live, London, which this year is set for Nov. 15-16 at ExCeL, London, the Las Vegas edition is dedicated to bringing global event professionals together to experience and discuss the latest advances in event tech, champion thought leadership and engage its community year-round.
Adam Parry, co-founder of ETL, encouraged the industry to get registered, get involved and invite colleagues to the free-to-attend show.
“I’ve said it before, but technology—in any shape, in any sector—can’t stand still,” Parry said. “That energy infects ETL and makes it a sure fit with Las Vegas in 2023.”
He added, “A jam-packed agenda is taking shape, and all the high rollers will be there.”
The show is set to be replete with all the brand’s celebrated hallmarks, including compelling content, international exhibitors such as AccessLoop, Entegy, Glisser, Hubilo and Klay, and non-stop innovation, according to Parry.
In common with ETL, London, STOVA, which promotes itself as “the definitive event technology eco-system” and is a product of the companies formerly known as MeetingPlay, Aventri and eventcore, is the registration partner for the Las Vegas event.

“Presenting our social media walls in the competition was a blast, and winning the competition was the cherry on top,” said Michael Kamleitner, founder and CEO of Walls.io and winner of the ETL, London 2022 Launchpad Competition.
He added, “For startups who want to break into the event tech scene, ETL Launchpad is an easy recommendation—an affordable, turn-key booth and industry exposure make it a must-have for everyone!"
