KEYNOTE: THE SENSORY RULES by Experiential Brand Strategist, MICHAELANGELO L’ACQUA. (Virtual) Well known for his role as the Global Music Director of W Hotels from 2009-2015, Michaelangelo’s career started in 1999 when Tom Ford called on his talents to musically translate his design visions for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent to the runways of Milan and Paris. In 2015, L’Acqua left W Hotels to launch his creative agency, WhiteLabel, which was created as an agency with expertise in Sensory Branding and Cultural Programming. The agency delivered on these core competencies by way of effectively engaging each of the Five Senses when creating a brand’s DNA, a physical environment, or a consumer experience. In March 2020, Michaelangelo moved on from WhiteLabel, carrying with him his talents as creative director to his new venture L’Acqua Agenzia. L’Acqua Agenzia is an experiential creative and strategy agency catering to client needs in the entertainment, lifestyle, luxury travel, hospitality, and fashion industries. Notable past and present clients include MSC Cruises, Jean-Georges Hospitality, The Howard Hughes Corporation, Virgin Voyages, Morgans Hotel Group, Virgin Hotels and Saira Hospitality. Last but not least, for the past decade-plus, Michaelangelo has served as music director for the marquee charities of amfAR ‘The Foundation for AIDS Research’, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, The Prince Albert II Global Ocean Foundation, UNICEF, Steven Tyler’s Jane’s House and the New York City Food Bank.

DESIGN INN House Rules
A note from the organisers: Due to a number of unofficial invite-only events taking place during the official event times in recent years, we would ask that businesses and individuals please do not host any events during the above times as a courtesy to other sponsors of AHICE and Design Inn. We all know that without sponsors, events like this cannot happen and we ask that our request is respected. If events do take place during the official times, the organisers and representatives of those companies will not be able to attend any AHICE sessions at the Adelaide Oval or Design Inn and are at the risk of passes being revoked.
We will also be requesting that supplier attendees that aren’t sponsors of the event to not canvas for business with sales materials and documents at the events at the Adelaide Oval or SkyCity. Those that do it will be at the risk of passes being revoked.
