The Lodging Conference is one of the top hotel industry events in the world. Over the past 22 years, tens of thousands of high-powered hotel owners and executives from around the globe have participated. The event has been sold out for the last five years with attendance of 1800+ in 2016. We bring together the hotel industry’s most influential owners, operators, presidents, CEOs and dealmakers to strategize about development, finance, franchising, management, construction, design, and operations. More than just a conference, the entire event is a THINK TANK where everybody in attendance has the opportunity to join in the conversation, discuss issues, and solve problems.
With continuous opportunities to network, gourmet food, and a casual dress code, along with a who’s who of senior-level industry executives in attendance, it’s no surprise that our attendees say they make more contacts, and do more deals at The Lodging Conference than at any other industry event. This all takes place on the grounds of the incredibly relaxing Arizona Biltmore Resort. With the hotel industry experiencing record-breaking metrics, we are expecting another great event this coming October. Please Register Early as we expect an early sell-out. See you in Phoenix.
