Conte, who has extensive experience in technology design, production and construction, also works closely with Electrosonic’s new business development team to pursue opportunities that are a perfect fit for the company. He is highly adept at building and maintaining trusted relationships with clients.
Conte’s forte is audiovisual technology, and throughout his career, he has worked on global projects in theme parks, museums, theatre, hospitality and World Expos. His achievements have been recognised by six Thea Awards. Additionally, Conte serves as an international board member for the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA), and as a committee organiser, thought leader, and SATE co-chair.
One person who nominated Conte said his mission is “to ensure that theme park and attraction designs and owners always benefit from the latest technology solutions”. They added: “He accomplishes this by monitoring developing technologies, maintaining awareness of best practices and strengthening industry and technology partner relationships.
“With a substantial history of influencing the quality and performance of experiential solutions within the realm of theme parks, Conte stands out.
