Kelsea Ballerini & OneRepublic Headline in Las Vegas
When 2,000+ guests gathered at The Wynn Las Vegas, the entertainment was nothing short of spectacular: two consecutive nights of chart-topping talent.
The first night featured an electrifying set from OneRepublic, blending their biggest hits with a special medley of chart-topping songs written by frontman Ryan Tedder for icons like Beyoncé, Adele, and the Jonas Brothers.
The following evening, Kelsea Ballerini captivated the audience with her signature mix of charm and powerhouse vocals, performing fan favorites and delivering a standout cover of Fleetwood Mac.
By pairing global pop-rock stars with a country powerhouse, our team delivered a dynamic entertainment experience that left guests energized, connected, and inspired long after the final encore.

Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
