Steps Away From the L.A. Experience

At L.A. LIVE, entertainment and unique experiences are just steps away from the convention center and conference hotels. It’s an urban core with three live entertainment venues and more than 20 restaurants. Whether you want to dance, dine, tour a museum or take in an NBA game, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

ACFAS attendees can eat, drink and play at places like Crypto.com Arena or Microsoft Theater, home of the EMMYS, ESPYS and many other events.

Check out the list below for a taste of six unique activities L.A. LIVE has to offer during the ACFAS 2023 Scientific Conference.

3. Catch a flick in 4DX at Regal L.A. LIVE.

What’s 4DX, you ask? Imagine a movie-going experience like none other where the sights on the screen are just one component of the sensory spectacle. Perfectly paired wind, fog, mist, scents and seat-activated motion immerse you in the film. Hang onto your popcorn.

5. Go bowling at Lucky Strike.
