Burbank, CA, USA — SATE stands for Storytelling, Architecture, Technology and Experience – the core elements
of themed entertainment. SATE is a 2-day conference dedicated to exploring those elements and how
they’re used to create meaningful places, experiences and events.
SATE is organized around its four themes: Storytelling, Architecture, Technology and
Experience. Sometimes a topic or speaker can fit into several different categories – you may select
as many as you think are applicable. If you’d like a refresher on last year’s conference, or would like
