On March 28 at 11 a.m., the 2018 Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show will feature a riveting keynote panel discussion, The Bar of Tomorrow: e-Sports, Streaming & Innovation, with industry leaders from across the country. With the introduction and exponential growth in the popularity of e-Sports, streaming and cutting edge social applications, attendees will learn crucial insider knowledge on how this ever-evolving and “disruptive innovation” is impacting the bar and nightclub business—and what your business needs to capitalize on theses explosive trends.

Moderated by Thom Greco, chairman of the advisory board of Nightclub & Bar and world-celebrated entrepreneur, the discussion will present unique challenges and opportunities facing all generations. Speakers included on the panel are:

  • Bill Dever, Chief Strategist of Harena Holdings LLC
  • Nick Fotheringham, Owner of The Nerd in Downtown Las Vegas
  • JT Gleason, Director of Integration Success and Developer Success with Twitch.tv
  • Armando Lanuti, President of Creative Works, Inc.

Each panelist will present their unique perspective of how the introduction of e-Sports and social media into the bar space can attract and more importantly retain Millennials, attract Generation Z, and capture up-and-coming generations who will all be increasingly plugged into the expansive world of social media. They will present strategies and tips to best capitalize on these new opportunities for enticing a new customer base into your venue while optimizing repeat engagement.
