Opportunities

Artist-designed environments that explore the gap between machine speed and material consequence. Art+Code spaces are intentionally open-ended. They are not galleries and they do not explain themselves. They exist to slow perception, recalibrate attention, and create space for reflection and conversation.

An open, conversational stage designed for dialogue, panels, and reflective discussion. The Amphitheatre prioritizes exchange over performance. It is designed for conversations that don’t fit into keynote formats — where nuance, disagreement, and exploration are encouraged.

The primary stage for keynote talks and shared moments that frame the summit. The Guggenheim Main Stage is where the most consequential ideas are introduced — not as product announcements, but as perspectives that help orient the entire audience to the moment we’re in.

A community-driven tier for organizations and individuals who want to support the summit's mission. Friends of 1UP are recognized for their contribution to the ecosystem.

The central gathering space connecting experiences across the summit. The Life Arena is not a booth floor. It is connective tissue — where people move between sessions, encounter each other, and form the relationships that carry ideas forward.

Curated panels focused on how leaders think, decide, and adapt. Mindset Panels are not trend talks. They focus on decision-making frameworks, trade-offs, and responsibility in moments of change.

Evening programming focused on connection, culture, and informal exchange. Nite Summit experiences extend the work of the day into shared moments after hours — where relationships deepen and unexpected collaborations begin.

The first physical touchpoint of the summit. The Registration Desk sets the tone for arrival — calm, clear, and welcoming.

A multi-day build experience focused on turning ideas into working prototypes. The Convergence Hack brings together interdisciplinary teams to explore what becomes possible when AI, XR, and human judgment intersect. The focus is on learning through making — not winning for its own sake.

Hands-on learning environments where practitioners teach, test, and transfer skills in real time. Build Labs are practical by design. They focus on applied knowledge — not demos, not pitches — and are where teams actually learn how to work with emerging tools and workflows.

A quiet, intentional space for mental reset and reflection. The Sanctuary exists to support sustained attention and decision-making. It is designed for leaders navigating cognitive load, not as a wellness perk, but as performance infrastructure.

Hidden, unlisted venues within the summit footprint discoverable only through exploration. Secret Spaces reward curiosity. They are intimate, off-grid environments for private conversations and serendipitous encounters.

Considered, useful items designed to last beyond the event. Swag at 1UP is intentionally restrained — functional, well-made, and aligned with the summit’s values.

An immersive audiovisual space for storytelling and sensory exploration. The Sound+Vision Theatre is designed for experiences that require more than slides — combining sound, visuals, and narrative to explore ideas differently.

A bundled package combining multiple VIP touchpoints. Designed for partners seeking deeper integration across curated moments.

A shared visual installation recognizing aligned partners. This is not a logo wall. It is a designed summary of the organizations helping make the summit possible.

A seated, curated dinner for a small group of leaders. The VIP Dinner is designed for conversation, not spectacle.

An invitation-only gathering for speakers, partners, and invited guests. The VIP Reception creates space for informal connection among those shaping the summit.

Curated 1:1 conversations enabled by AI and human design. xChanges are the connective infrastructure of 1UP. They match participants based on intent, expertise, and curiosity — and place those conversations in environments designed for focus and trust.
