American Council of Life Insurers | Fontainebleau Las Vegas | February 15–18, 2026
The ReFocus 2026 Conference from the American Council of Life Insurers offered a standout example of how to strategically deploy multiple configurations of NOOK Event Pods® to maximize attendee comfort and productivity.
Hosted at the stunning Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the event combined thoughtful sponsor branding with smart space planning. The branded NOOK Event Pods® blended seamlessly into the lobby environment—so naturally integrated that they felt like a permanent part of the venue design.
What made this setup particularly effective was the intentional mix of configurations. By incorporating both single pods and double-wide NOOK Pods, the team created a range of meeting environments:
- Comfortable spaces for two to four attendees
- Larger meeting areas accommodating six to eight participants
- Flexible options for quick check-ins or longer strategic discussions
The result? Plenty of functional meeting space throughout the event—and no attendees sitting on the floor searching for an outlet or a quiet corner.
From an operational standpoint, this venue remains a favorite for our team. The Fontainebleau allows us to provide our own labor to roll the NOOK Event Pods® in and out of the space, eliminating the need for costly union labor and helping keep logistics efficient and budget-friendly.
ReFocus 2026 once again proved that when flexible design meets thoughtful execution, mobile meeting spaces can elevate both sponsor visibility and attendee experience.
