Event technology companies will once again vie for the top spot at this year’s Society of Independent Show Organizer’s Event Innovation Battlefield.

The nominating committee chose four finalists from more than 50 organizations that applied, and the battlefield will feature four event technology companies.

“Each year SISO is looking for breakthrough event technology or amazing new business models just before they are released publicly so that we may keep one step ahead in our ever changing industry,” said David Adler, one of the principal SISO members that developed the Event Innovation Battlefield for SISO’s Leadership Conference.

He added, “It’s exciting to see all of the innovation in our industry and it opens our minds to what was not possible just a few short years ago. It truly is a celebration of talent and ideas.”

Water Stewardship Efforts MGM Resorts understands the importance of using water efficiently, especially in the desert destination of Las Vegas. Conserving water has always been part of the mission, but MGM Resorts has expanded its ambition into water stewardship. In 2022, MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle signed the CEO Water Mandate—a UN Global Compact initiative mobilizing business leaders to advance water stewardship. MGM Resorts International was the first gaming company to take this important step. MGM Resorts replaced 200,000 square feet of real grass with drought-tolerant landscaping in Las Vegas. MGM Resorts pledges to reduce water withdrawal intensity by 33% by 2025 and by 35% by 2030. From 2007-2021, use of more than 5.6 billion gallons of water was avoided because of conservation efforts. Caring for One Another MGM Resorts’ Food Donations Program collects and preserves unserved food from conventions held at MGM Resorts properties, then safely donates to food insecure people in the community. Since the program’s launch in 2016, more than 3.7 million meals toward a 2025 goal of 5 million meals have been donated into the community. Donations include: Unserved perishable prepared foods from events Perishable unprepared food from MGM Resorts’ kitchens Nonperishable food items from minibars and warehouses The collaboration with Southern Nevada’s primary food bank, Three Square, has developed the infrastructure needed to safely collect, transport, and store food from MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, reducing food waste while serving the community.
