DUCK DUCK SHED 2023
Rooted in the seminal book, Learning From Las Vegas, Duck Duck Shed explores various aspects of gaming, entertainment, and cuisine, through an evolutionary lens by hearing from those that built this one-of-a-kind city. Sessions by acclaimed authors and industry leaders are joined with walking tours, backstage access, and first-person insights leave visitors with a greater appreciation for Las Vegas’ cultural contributions. In its sophomore year, Duck Duck Shed continues to expand to new audiences while maintaining excellence in programming.
The four-day event offered 29 individual programs including panels, exhibitions, culinary arts, entertainment, pop culture tours and family-focused learning.
A first for Duck Duck Shed is the addition of American Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education Credits for five of the 2023 programs.
