Booth Attractions
You won’t even have to leave the Expo hall for networking opportunities. You’ll find them throughout the expo hall, at vendors' booths, and all around the show floor. If you’ve always wanted to meet a UFC champion, stop by and see Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at the Telesystem US booth. Don’t be afraid, the former light heavyweight champ’s a nice guy out of the Octagon -- unless you’re a bad-guy hacker.
If you prefer your thrills in cars, then drop by for an autograph – and perhaps driving tips -- from stock car driver David Leon Starr at the ConnectUS booth. ConnectUS is a sponsor of Starr, who drives in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for SS-Green Light Racing.
If Vegas-style entertainment is your thing, a Rat Pack tribute group will open the Expo Hall on Tuesday, and Chance the Gila Monster, official Mascot of the NHL’s Las Vegas Golden Knights, will wander the hall on Wednesday.
There will also be three days of swag available at the Channel Partners Swag Lab on Level 1. Drop by Monday through Wednesday for exclusive fun-stuff souvenirs.
Other networking opportunities on the Expo floor include during the Expo Hall Opening Reception on Tuesday, sponsored by AT&T, and the Pub Crawl in the Expo Hall on Wednesday. And Central Bar, powered by T-Mobile, will be open through all the Expo hours as the perfect place to recharge with expertly crafted espresso drinks to power up your high-impact days.
Also, Triton and AT&T will host a happy hour Tuesday night from 6:30 - 8 p.m. at Flight Club Las Vegas.
