Speakers

Angeline Scheinbaum, Ph.D.

CONSUMER BEHAVIOR SCHOLAR | SPORTS MARKETING EXPERT | AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR

Dr. Angeline Close Scheinbaum brings a dynamic, future-focused perspective to this milestone event, where we explore how global forces—like the global sports and entertainment economy—are reshaping Southern Nevada’s future. Her keynote will spotlight the next 50 years of Las Vegas and the world ahead: what’s growing, what’s evolving, and what it means on a global scale.

A leading voice in consumer psychology, brand sponsorship, and experiential marketing, Dr. Scheinbaum bridges academic research and real-world impact. She has partnered with well known brands including Dodge, Toyota, Shell, and AT&T, and her award-winning research—recognized by the American Marketing Association and the Academy of Marketing Science—explores how people connect with brands, events, and digital platforms.

With a portfolio of books and publications on everything from social media to the psychology of branding, she brings both depth and relevance. Her current and previous leadership roles at Clemson University and the University of Texas, along with her strong ties to the sports marketing industry, make her uniquely equipped to unpack the global trends influencing the Nevada economy. She started her academic career at UNLV and still maintains strong family ties to the area and kept a close watch on its evolution to a global sports hub.
