What to Expect at Bisnow's Annual Lodging Conference 2023

What You'll Learn at our Hospitality Industry Summit: 

  • After a cycle of struggle, this year promises the return of a stronger hospitality sector. How can today's owners and investors best prepare for the hotel recovery?
  • Leisure travel has returned but with a looming recession and job losses, how will a decline in business travel impact hotel performance and occupancy?
  • How have consumer demands continued to change? What trends have taken the industry by storm, from glamping to bleisure (the blend of business and leisure travel)?
  • What do investors need to see before regaining full confidence in the sector?

  

How You'll Do More Business in Hotel Real Estate & Investment: According to CBRE, the second quarter of 2022 proved to be unexpectedly strong for the U.S. hotel market, signifying a return to travel. Great news for the hospitality sector! Industry experts predict a strong rebound for hospitality by the end of 2023 — so how can today's investors and owners best prepare? Join us as we explore where the hotel industry is now. What portfolios are ready for both the return of business and leisure travel and what mergers and acquisitions are shaking up the hotel industry?
  

Stick Around for the Cocktail Event to Meet Hotel Executives & Professionals: Sip & mingle with the nation's top hotel owners, operators, investors, developers and analysts making hospitality's rebound happen.
