WE SOON WILL BE MEETING IN THE CITY OF ANGELS FOR AAHOACON23!
While I have attended many prior AAHOACONs, this is the first in my role as President & CEO, and I am looking forward to meeting all our members and industry partners and making AAHOACON23 go down in history as one of the best.
I always say, there is simply no place like AAHOA to expand your professional knowledge, achieve new goals, and make a real difference for the hotelier members and industry at large.
Working for AAHOA for 10 years in a different capacity than I do now was one of the highlights of my professional career. I was frequently inspired by the work ethic and business acumen of the AAHOA Members and was surrounded by many amazing board members, executive staff, and employees (many of whom are still my friends today).
The AAHOA team has been working nonstop to ensure this convention and trade show is one of our most successful to date, and I am so proud of our dedicated group of team members, board members, and volunteer leaders who help make this event happen year after year.
I always say, there is simply no place like AAHOA to expand your professional knowledge, achieve new goals, and make a real difference for the hotelier members and industry at large.
I applaud the entire AAHOA team for helping our organization reach a historic milestone: securing a record level of booth sales for the trade show at AAHOACON23, making it the largest in AAHOA’s 34-year history.
The 2019 AAHOA Convention & Trade Show, AAHOA’s previous biggest show to date, totaled 77,500 square feet of exhibit space. AAHOACON23, at the time of printing, reached more than 85,000 square feet of sold exhibit space while we still had many weeks remaining for industry partners to secure space.
What has historically been the most highly anticipated “Super Bowl” event of the industry, AAHOACON is known for bringing hoteliers together for networking, learning, and deal-making on the trade show floor. Each year, million-dollar buying decisions are made at AAHOACON, and with AAHOA Members spending $50 billion with suppliers each year, it’s no surprise.
In addition to a trade show of historic proportions and projected high levels of attendance, AAHOACON23 will also feature 20 must-see educational sessions, three general sessions with world-class keynote speakers, and three nights filled with incredible entertainment and top-level networking.
As per tradition, on the second day, AAHOACON23 will also feature speeches and debates from the candidates running for the AAHOA Board of Directors.
