Nearly Impossible Expert Lab

Conceptualized and created as a component of the Nearly Impossible conference, the Expert Lab fostered fast-paced, one-on-one meetings between industry experts and conference participants. Pulling inspiration from science labs, space-age novelties, and mid-century office environments, the meeting space and lounge areas were infused with thoughtful elements, details, and vignettes that add up to a rich brand experience—one that quickly became a favorite among conference attendees and Expert Lab participants.
