It’s a new year, and the ITC Vegas team is just returning from a week together in NYC, where we strategized and looked inward at how we can improve ourselves individually and as a team to deliver a remarkable experience for YOU. We have so many things we can’t wait to share! What’s coming soon, you ask?  

Announcements for the 2025 theme, keynote speakers, closing party entertainment, and more. Our lips will be sealed a little longer, but if you stick with us here and on social, you just might start to pick up on some clues... 

If you’re new here or are a longtime Insider MVP, we want to mention that our mission with the Insider is simple: to keep you informed, connected, and inspired while celebrating what truly sets ITC apart—this extraordinary community we’ve built together.  

We also want to address all our ITC community members that have been affected by the wildfire devastation in California. We are keeping all of you, your friends, families, and first responders in our hearts and thoughts. We stand with you and are committed to showing our support through ongoing efforts to aid those impacted. We strongly encourage all to assist and aid in however you can by visiting this link: https://lacity.gov/LAstrong.  

Enjoy this month’s edition of the ITC Insider, and happy 2025.

Things that are inspiring me

ITC President Nicole Peck shares what’s on her radar this month – from business to pop culture, branding to industry trends.

• DeepSeek R1 Model…this is definitely something we need to pay attention to.  
• Superbowl LIX – as a Giants fan, once again I have no horse in this race and will need to root against the Eagles and for good commercials. I’ll look forward to the other “big game” in October at Mandalay Bay.  
• Nicole Scherzinger – truthfully, she blew me away as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, currently on Broadway. Run, don’t walk to see this once in a lifetime performance. She will win a Tony.
