Kick off the Symposium in iconic Las Vegas fashion at the Opening Party, co-presented by the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority and Caesars, and hosted at the vibrant GO Pool at Flamingo Las Vegas, just a short walk from our host hotels. Set against the backdrop of one of Vegas’ most energetic pool venues, Electric Neon Oasis: Vegas Then & Now blends classic Vegas nostalgia with the modern pulse of the destination today.

Guests are encouraged to enjoy the poolside environment while connecting with peers in a dynamic, professionally curated atmosphere showcasing Las Vegas as a premier sports and entertainment destination.

While this event is designed to be fun and memorable, it remains a professional Sports ETA function. All attendees are expected to conduct themselves accordingly. Unprofessional behavior or attire will not be permitted. This signature evening sets the tone for the week ahead, bringing the industry together for a dynamic and unforgettable Symposium kickoff.

NOTE: Event name badges are required for entry to all Sports ETA functions and must be worn at all times.

The Go Pool has a strict bag policy, with security conducting inspections to prevent outside food, beverages, and illegal items. Prohibited items include large bags, coolers, luggage, and glass containers. Small bags are generally permitted, but all items are subject to search at the 21+ venue.
