OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR SAFETY
We have experienced the enthusiasm of returning to live in-person events this year, having safely and successfully hosted more than 10,000 executives to date. While we are thrilled to convene together to propel growth within CRE, COVID-19 remains a worldwide concern and Bisnow is committed to practicing safe protocols at our events. You can expect the following:
Facial coverings will be required by all staff & attendees, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will be made available at the door.
Temperature checks will be conducted at entry.
Attendance at the event will be capped.
Contact tracing procedures will be employed for any reported exposure.
Socially distanced seating will be available in the main event space.
Enhanced sanitization protocols will be adhered to throughout the event space including regularly disinfecting surfaces throughout the event and hand sanitizer provided to all attendees.
As local regulations and guidance evolve, the CRE industry continues to lead the way forward. As such, we will gather safely to do what we do best: network, connect, and engage to do more business. We look forward to hosting you soon.

What You'll Learn
The rise of the "vaccication": how have tourists's desires to travel helped boutique hotels recover?
RTO and the tie to hospitality: as many downtown hotels are waiting for conference travel to resume, how are they surviving/incentivizing people to stay in the meantime?
Safety first: what COVID precautions, like scaling back room service, will remain implemented in the long term?
Who's financing, and refinancing, for hotels now? What will incentivize banks/lenders to reinvest in hospitality?
Reimagining tomorrow's hotels: what amenities/development styles, like micro-hotels, will become a thing of the past?
How You'll Do More Business:
Summer is back in full swing, with leisure travel returning to pre-pandemic norms and Americans eager to take their first vaccination. However, the leisure uptick is not enough to substantiate a full recovery for the hospitality industry. According to the Wall Street Journal, corporate trips remain 70% or more below pre-pandemic levels, with top industry leaders anticipating a full return to "normal" by 2023. Come September, most corporations will have announced their return to office strategy, giving the CRE industry a clear insight as to how these decisions will impact business travel. Learn how hotel owners, operators, and investors are making the best out of hospitality's slow recovery, and where we can anticipate seeing the asset class recover in leaps and bounds.
Who You’ll Meet: The nation's top hotel owners and operators, investors, developers, and analysts working hard to see hospitality rebound.
