Las Vegas as an Events Destination Based in Las Vegas, Glanzer has watched the city grow into a sports and entertainment capital, including being the main stage for Super Bowl LVIII, the city's first time of hosting. This came months after the city hosted it's F1 event, with Glanzer and his team producing an experience for 650 VIPs during F1 last year in Las Vegas.  Wellness a Must-Have Self-care is not something Glanzer takes for granted. Wellness must be a priority, not a side conversation, he says. His company has created the Elevated Wellness platform which is a 360-degree immersion of the senses designed to provide a healthy meeting environment.  Glanzer Leads by Example When Glanzer brings on a new team member, he stresses the three Vs — your voice, vision, and value. “There's no greater asset than your team and you really have to put in the effort and it takes time and you have to prioritize your time around them,” he says.  Being Accountable   Glanzer has both a personal and professional advisory board from all walks of life. He reaches out to his professional advisory board all the time on any type of decision regarding Elevated. Another advisory board helps him in his personal life.

He currently sits on the EIC CMP Governance Committee as Past Chair, is part of the SITE Mountain West Chapter Events Committee, and is active in the UNLV Hotel School Mentor program.
