I’m attending Alibaba’s CoCreate 2024 conference in Las Vegas, and I’d like to thank the Alibaba team for the VIP invite! I’m looking forward to the event and networking with everyone. Day 0 was about settling into the hotel and getting familiar with the area. The excitement kicks off tomorrow (Thursday, Sep 5).
This is my second time in Vegas, and I’m thrilled to be back in this vibrant, hot city. I was pleasantly surprised by how organized the airport was—it’s massive, but everything from the ride-share pickup to getting around was a breeze. The conference is being held at the Paris Hotel, one of the city’s most iconic spots.
Today, I picked up my badge, grabbed food and drinks, and explored the casino floor. I had an early night to get ready for what promises to be an exciting day tomorrow.
The event officially kicks off tomorrow, Thursday, September 5, with many exciting presentations and speakers.
