That’s a wrap on #EMSLive 2026 ✨

Day 3 closed out an incredible week of big ideas, honest conversations, creative inspiration and meaningful human connection across the experiential marketing industry.

From packed sessions and Hall of Ideas activations to networking events, brand storytelling and unforgettable moments on and off the show floor, EMS once again brought the experiential community together in a big way.

Until next year, Vegas 👋

In a world driven by screens, algorithms and constant digital noise, human connection has never mattered more.

We asked experiential marketing leaders at #EMSLive one simple question: “Why is Human Connection more important than ever in the Digital Age?”

Because at the end of the day, people may forget the content, but they remember how an experience made them feel.

Big ideas, packed sessions, nonstop conversations and a whole lot of energy. Day 2 at #EMSLive delivered from start to finish.

The day opened with @JimmyKnowles1 from @Canva taking the keynote stage and sharing how bold creativity, culture, community and measurable impact can all work together to create experiences that truly connect.

From there, the conversations continued across breakout sessions, 🧠Braindates and the Hall of Ideas, where attendees explored the latest experiential trends, activations and ideas shaping the industry.#

💖As the sun went down, the energy kept building with Happy Hour, the Lip Sync Battle, and a memorable close to the night at the Women in Events Reception with @invisioncommunications at Hakkasan ✨
