This month, we make waves at AAHOACON24, my second AAHOA Convention and Trade Show as President & CEO. And this year – marking the industry’s continued recovery and AAHOA’s role in that growth – the event will be the largest trade show in AAHOA history.
It is hard to believe April is already upon us, after months of planning. I commend the incredible efforts of each member of the AAHOA team, all of whom worked enthusiastically and tirelessly to ensure this is the biggest and best AAHOACON yet.
Along with AAHOA’s dedicated group of team members, I want to take the opportunity to thank our board members and volunteer leaders who help make such an amazing event happen year after year.
AAHOACON24 is one of the most highly anticipated and well-attended events in the industry, bringing together professionals and industry leaders from across hospitality. Attendees can expect a range of activities, including exceptional keynote speakers, networking opportunities, block party fun, and so much more. AAHOACON24 also provides a platform for individuals and businesses to showcase their latest innovations, connect with like-minded individuals, and stay updated on industry trends.
“Each year, we say AAHOACON will be bigger and better than ever, and it is hard to imagine we will ever top the year prior. But somehow, AAHOA makes it happen, and we really could not do it without the support of our members, industry partners, and more.”
This year again we will feature several first-time events that you will not want to miss, including our inaugural “Collegiate Championship: Hotel Turnaround Competition” with top student teams from several of the best hospitality schools in the nation. We will be hosting a rockin’ Miami Nights-themed Welcome Reception, along with new world-class educational programs that will give you the edge in 2024.
Whether you have been to an AAHOACON before, or it is your first time, it will be highly charged with excitement as attendees are eager to explore new activities, events, opportunities, technologies, products, and services.
When people talk about AAHOACON, they often refer to the energy in the atmosphere. I always say, “there is no place like AAHOA,” and there is really no place like AAHOACON either. Usually, before it is over, people are already talking about the next one!
Each year, we say AAHOACON will be bigger and better than ever, and it is hard to imagine we will ever top the year prior. But somehow, AAHOA makes it happen, and we really could not do it without the support of our members, industry partners, and more.
I hope all AAHOACON24 attendees walk away with valuable insights, and an even greater passion for “My AAHOA” and the hospitality industry.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Orlando! Let’s make some waves in 2024!
