How to analyze deals in an age of inflation, economic slowdown, and more…
Fourth Floor Ziegfeld
It's one thing to make broad forecasts about the future health of the hotel industry, it's another thing to evaluate opportunities in the short-term. The recent rebound in hotel revenues and profitability is promising, but the horizon is clouded by tech layoffs, work from home trends, inflation, and other political and economic risks. Hear from the professionals dealing with how to assess deals on a day-to-day basis where many underwriting risks might derail the best laid plans.

WORKSHOP XX – INDUSTRY SEGMENT
Lifestyle Hotels: Everything Everywhere All at Once
Fourth Floor, Wilder
Lifestyle hotels have transcended the traditional lodging industry segmentation structure, and are found at increasing numbers of price points, development costs, and locations. New lifestyle brands continue to be rolled out, but soft branding platforms permit owners to create individual identities for individual hotels, which feels like it’s not branding at all. How does this all work? Why are lifestyle hotels proliferating, what does a lifestyle brand need to work, and what’s next? Join these market players as they share their views.

WORKSHOP XXI – Industry Segment
Talent Attraction, Labor Retention, and DEI: Strategies for Talent Management
Fourth Floor, Odets
As we experience a significant labor shortage, a culture where the notion of on-site work has waned in popularity, and a society that is thinking about 4-day work weeks, strategies for talent management are becoming more and more critical at every level of the lodging industry. Is attention to DEI-related issues part of the answer and if so, what are the exact strategies that are being deployed? Would an increasingly diverse lodging industry ownership base help and if so, how do we get there? Do we need to re-think the workforce paradigm in its entirety and, if so, what would a different one look like? Join these experts as they share what they are thinking and seeing in the talent management arena.
