The show’s signature event, the HD/ISHP Owners’ Roundtable, which allows attendees to meet face-to-face with owners, developers, and brand executives in an open forum as they rotate tables every 10 minutes;
The 8th Annual Radical Innovation in Hospitality Awards Competition, where finalists will present their radical hotel concepts to a distinguished jury Shark Tank-style, and the audience determines the $10,000 grand prize winner via real-time voting (enter here by February 3rd);
And the NEWH Green Voice Conversations with the Experts return to the show floor’s Social Hub (which will be designed by the Morgans Hotel Group) to discuss topics such as the impact of restaurant food, MGM Resorts’ commitment to organic design, and the ecological design of Fred Stitt.
As for networking opportunities, don’t miss the Opening Night Party at Mandalay Bay’s House of Blues, and the annual Party by the Pool, which is heading to Mandalay Bay’s newly renovated Daylight Pool.
