Note: This year’s Oktane is being held at the Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada, from September 24-26, 2025.
The best moments at Oktane rarely happen on a slide. They occur in the in-between: the coffee line, a quick chat on the expo floor, a dinner table where notes turn into next steps.
If you’re heading to Las Vegas, plan as deliberately for your conversations as you do for your sessions. Who do you want to meet? What problems are you trying to solve? A bit of intention turns “nice to meet you” into “let’s ship this.”
To help, we put together a simple guide that maps the most useful meetups and mixers around the conference. Use it to stack your evenings with high-signal chats, compare notes with peers, and come home with contacts and commitments you’ll actually use.
