The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) and Questex, a management and global event company, have teamed up to launch The Hospitality Show (“The Show”), an annual hospitality trade show and conference.
The three-day event, hosted in Las Vegas in June 2023, plans for hospitality leaders across the industry to meet and conduct business.
Attendees will include AHLA’s membership – which expands across multiple sectors including service providers, suppliers, hotel owners, management companies, and C-Suite executives of hotel brands.
AHLA and Questex have stated that they hope to attract overlapping sectors, including executives from restaurants, bars, and interconnected businesses such as travel companies, gyms, spas, clubs, and the experience economy - with which Questex has extensive relationships.
“As an entity representing the entire hotel industry, AHLA recognises the need to annually bring together our most important voices and respected leaders,” commented Chip Rogers, AHLA president and CEO.
The Show’s education programme will be focused on technology and operations: utilising insights from expert speakers; curated buying experiences of products and services within an exhibit hall; personalised matchmaking; and networking opportunities.
Alexi Khajavi, president of Questex Hospitality Group, commented: “The Hospitality Show will serve as the rally point for hospitality professionals across all aspects of the industry to gather, build relationships and get business done. The timing is perfect for an industry event that brings the entire ecosystem together in one place.”
