adobe summit 2025
📍 The Venetian Convention Center ✘ downtown las vegas
Hello Day 2 of the Adobe Summit 2025 Conference! The speaker sessions were incredible. I loved learning from the women in tech sharing about their career experience and expertise in their position. As well as, tying back their Enterprise’s usage of Adobe Analytics and/or Adobe products. It was very beneficial for me to learn about their company strategies and usage of the tools, to gain inspiration from to bring back to my Enterprise.
I even got to visit the Coca-Cola vendor networking booth. I got to try some of the exclusive Coca-Cola flavors made just for the Summit Conference! Which was super neat! I got to bring back my own red Coca-Cola reusable cup!
I passed my certification exam !!
📍 The Venetian Convention Center ✘ downtown las vegas
I passed my Adobe Certification exam!!! Yay!!! I am a Adobe Certified Professional – Adobe Analytics Business Practitioner. This was a huge win for me during the conference!! I studied for around ~2-3 months prior to taking the exam. I taught myself Adobe Analytics in my job around ~6-months prior to taking the exam.
This was also my first time studying for an exam since graduating college from NC State in 2022. Haha, I loved the thrill of studying and testing! It was so fun to put my ‘student hat’ on again! Checkout my neat Adobe verified certification badge. It’s also on my Linkedin—so girlboss.

The Roman architecture was simply stunning!
Adobe SUmmit 2025
📍 The Venetian Convention Center ✘ Downtown, las vegas
Hello, Day 3 of the Adobe Summit 2025 Conference! I came across a booth that did laser printed latte art! I got my GG logo on my latte!! So fun!
Walk around Caesars Palace
✘ Caesars Palace 📍 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Paradise, NV 89109
I loved walking around and exploring the Roman-styled architecture.
Trevi fountain at Caesars Palace
✘ Caesars Palace 📍 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Paradise, NV 89109
I’ve never been to Rome or Italy, but was a pretty cool replica!! Someday I will make my way to Rome & Italy!! But for now, this was a great taste of Roman architecture.
Gondola & High roller
📍 S Las Vegas Blvd, Paradise, NV 89109
While walking around S Las Vegas Blvd, I saw the Gondola Ride at the Venetian Resort. It looked like a cool attraction to partake in. I also saw The High Roller Observation Wheel, which was cool from afar! Not my cup of tea haha. I don’t mind heights, however, I don’t like the margin of error for ferris wheels lol.
Sphere las vegas
✘ downtown las vegas 📍 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89169
The Sphere was super cool to see! It was so neat to see it change to different visuals. The walk to get to the Sphere—from The Venetian Resort—was kinda sketch lol. I would not recommend! I made sure to stay near groups. Definitely rideshare around Vegas, it’s generally safer!

Walking around roman-styled architecture
✘ The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace 📍 3500 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109
The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace was so much fun!!! I loved walking around and seeing all the cool Roman-styled architecture! If you notice a theme here, haha—I love walking around especially when exploring new places and seeing the local attractions in the area.
One of my favorite aspects about the Forum Shops was the The Fall of Atlantis Show. I just so happened to come across this neat free attraction within the mall, and the show was starting. I felt like a kid at heart haha, it was very fascinating!! The Roman robots even had Pyrotechnics (the sword was flaming), haha I love mechanics and the beauty of engineering.
dinner @ true food kitchen
✘ true food kitchen in the forum shops 📍 3500 S Las Vegas Blvd, South Space R-15A, Las Vegas, NV 89109
I Yelp researched this restaurant and I was so excited! It was honestly kinda hard to locate within the Forum Shops mall lol…it felt like a maze. At the restaurant, the service was not that great, unsure if I would ever go back. The server sadly forgot about my pizza order and I was waiting like 20-minutes until I asked on the status of it…welp. At least the food was healthy & good.
my order: organic tuscan kale salad with crispy air fried chicken, homemade sourdough margarita pizza, & a iced lavender matcha latte.
Paris las vegas & Fountains of Bellagio
✘ Bellagio Hotel & paris las vegas 📍 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
I ended my last night in Las Vegas by seeing Paris Las Vegas! The Fountains of Bellagio were so pretty!
