Integrated Workflows for Always On Experiences [Infocomm Spotlight Stage Panel]

Live events and immersive experiences are being redefined by a new generation of integrated workflows. What if your most complex show systems could run 24/7—with greater creative flexibility and less reliance on specialist engineers? 

Inside The Spectacle at MGM Cotai, the world’s largest permanent indoor LED screen installation, audiences experience a constantly evolving collection of digital art from around the globe. Join Disguise and Smart Monkeys as they lift the lid on the integrated workflows of the future, unpacking how Disguise’s new ISAAC integration enables complex, high-performance systems to be maintained and operated without a team of specialized engineers on-site at all times. Learn how MGM is streamlining system programming and commissioning, increasing content flexibility, and delivering a more dynamic, responsive experience for both operators and visitors by setting a new benchmark for always‑on immersive venues.
