NEWH The Hospitality Industry Network will host its biennial NEWH Leadership Conference January 13-16, 2011, at Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando. Themed “Catch the Wave,” this international hospitality event will focus on capturing new business, state-of-the-art hospitality developments and trends, and sustainable practices. For the first time, the conference will co-locate with NEWH Regional Trade Show Orlando, to be held January 13 at Loews Royal Pacific Resort, offering conference attendees the opportunity to view products and services for hospitality design and operations, as well as network with other attendees.
Keynote presentations and education topics include State of the Hospitality Industry, Social Media Networking/Marketing, Volunteerism and Leadership, and an exclusive NEWH Friday Morning Roundtable on January 14 featuring key executives from major international hotel brands. “There will be brainstorming sessions, expert presentations, thoughtful discussions, mentoring, student and professional recognition, exclusive industry knowledge, membership-building ideas, and plenty of opportunity for strategic networking in a friendly relaxed business-casual setting,” says Andy Schaidler, who serves as director of NEWH Leadership Conferences, a volunteer position.
