Hewlett Packard’s President and CEO takes the stage at the Las Vegas Sphere during HPE Discover 2024 in Las Vegas in June.
After debuting with much fanfare in September, 2023, the Sphere in Las Vegas quickly attained unparalleled status as a next-generation entertainment venue. Now Sphere is hosting its premier corporate event. The keynote from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) President and Chief Executive Officer Antonio Neri will take place at the venue on June 18 as part of HPE Discover 2024—a showcase technology event for business and government customers that attracted more than 10,000 attendees in 2023. The 2024 event explores the future of tech and the possibilities when AI spans edge to cloud, showcasing the groundbreaking innovations that are advancing the way we live and work.
“Big moments call for bold moves,” said Jim Jackson, Chief Marketing Officer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, in a press statement. “At the core of HPE’s rapid transformation is a commitment to bringing innovative, new experiences that engage new audiences and define the future. Sphere is the perfect venue for us to declare what’s next for our brand and to bring to life the technologies that will enable enterprises to thrive in the AI era.”
The exterior “Exosphere” is the world’s largest LED screen and has become a vivid landmark on the Las Vegas skyline. Consisting of approximately 1.2 million LED pucks, the Exosphere is capable of displaying more than 1 billion different colors— creating an innovative digital canvas for brands to connect with their audiences. Inside, Sphere’s Atrium is a 5.7 million cubic feet space that creates an otherworldly experience from the moment attendees enter the main venue bowl. With 17,600 seats and a 160,000 sq. ft. LED screen that wraps up, over and around the audience, Sphere offers a fully immersive visual environment at an unprecedented scale. The venue’s other cutting-edge technologies include Sphere Immersive Sound, which delivers precise, crystal-clear sound to every seat, no matter the size or type of event.
“Sphere is a next-generation medium and a powerful platform for companies to educate and demonstrate,” said Jennifer Koester, President, Sphere Business Operations at Sphere Entertainment. “The HPE keynote will leverage the venue’s cutting-edge technologies to deliver a bespoke experience that sets a new bar for brand storytelling and corporate events.”
