Brand Experience Summit 2025: Precision at Speed, Designed for the
C-Suite
The Opportunity
Senior marketers don’t lack access. They lack space.
In an environment defined by constant noise, competing priorities, and accelerating expectations, Invision identified a growing leadership imperative: CMOs need fewer surface-level interactions and more meaningful, peer-driven conversations that respect their time and reflect the realities of how modern brands operate.
Brand Experience Summit (BES) was created as a top-of-funnel, partnership-driven platform designed to do exactly that by aligning Invision with premier destinations and partners while convening senior decision-makers in moments that matter.
After launching the platform at scale at Allegiant Stadium in 2024, the question for Year Two wasn’t what BES needed to achieve as those objectives remained consistent, but how the experience should evolve.
With Formula 1 transforming Las Vegas into a global destination, BES 2025 needed to meet the C-suite audience where they already were and design an experience that could cut through the spectacle rather than compete with it.

The idea
Precision at speed isn’t a tradeoff. It’s a mindset.
BES 2025 was built around a simple, repeatable truth that a CMO could take back to their organization:
Precision and speed are not enemies. They’re allies.
While the setting offered a natural metaphor, “precision at speed” was grounded in the real operating conditions leaders face and not just a creative overlay. In a world where leaders are expected to move faster and be right, BES became a space to pressure-test how brands are navigating that reality in real time.
The panel discussion brought together senior leaders from hospitality and professional sports – organizations operating under constant pressure, visibility, and scrutiny.
The experience didn’t ask attendees to admire Invision’s capabilities. It allowed them to feel them through seamless execution, thoughtful content, and an environment where nothing felt forced, overproduced, or performative.
The proof was in both the substance and the execution, without over-explaining either.
Across the leaders in the room, a shared operating truth emerged: speed without precision erodes trust, and precision without speed loses relevance.
The approach
Intimacy as a strategic advantage
Instead of scaling up, BES 2025 intentionally scaled in.
Anchored by an intimate, restaurant-based brunch at Bouchon at The Venetian, the experience was designed around one core insight: senior leaders value time, relevance, and human connection more than spectacle alone. A moderated panel discussion and intentional peer conversation were central to the format.
Key design decisions were made with intent:
• An intimate setting encouraged peer-to-peer conversation that wouldn’t
happen in a traditional venue
• Morning timing protected the experience from competing obligations
• Breaking bread together created a human, accessible entry point for
deeper dialogue
• A curated guest list ensured relevance at every table, and a cross-section
of industries represented diversity of ideas
• An insightful panel shared authentic insights about their “precision at
speed” marketing strategies
This wasn’t restraint due to limitation. It was restraint as strategy.
The experience
From table to track, together
BES 2025 deliberately paired intimacy with spectacle.
Guests moved from shared conversations at the table to the high-energy environments of Formula 1 within groups, extending relationships rather than fragmenting them. Access to the Paddock Club and other VIP Formula 1 experiences weren’t treaded as a perk or add-on. Rather, it was the context that amplified the experience.
The contrast worked because it was intentional:
• Intimate conversation grounded the day
• F1 elevated it
• Together, they reinforced the idea that modern leadership requires
clarity and momentum
Every touchpoint from pre-arrival concierge communication to on-site logistics, was designed to be frictionless, signaling Invision’s ability to deliver precision at speed without drawing attention to the mechanics behind it.
The impact: Beyond the day
The true value of BES 2025 wasn’t limited to attendance or impressions.
The platform strengthened Invision’s position not just as a producer of experiences, but as a strategic convener and a partner capable of bringing the right people together, around the right conversations, at the right moment.
Attendee feedback reinforced that the value extended beyond access. Value that sparks new ways of thinking about customer experience, leadership under pressure, and how precision and speed show up inside their own organizations.
In those conversations, a shared leadership discipline emerged: listening early, acting quickly, and empowering teams closest to the experience to respond in
real time.
It also reinforced the power of partnership marketing: aligning with destinations and brands that share a vested interest in serving the same senior audience and creating shared equity that extends beyond a single event.
While long-tail ROI continues to materialize, BES 2025 succeeded in its primary objective: delivering an experience CMOs could confidently say was a worthwhile use of their time. One that offered perspective, relevance, and connection they could carry back into their organizations.
Why it matters
Brand Experience Summit isn’t an event. It’s a platform.
One designed to evolve with its audience, respond to context, and prove that when experiences are built with intention, trust, and precision, speed doesn’t dilute impact — it accelerates it.
