At the inaugural ALIS DESIGN advisory board meeting, the math was simple: Passion Expertise Curiosity = 2024’s must-attend event for all hospitality stakeholders. Leaders from across the industry came together to share their views on the key issues in the industry – and what they want to learn more about.
There’s a lot to admire about the creativity and dedication behind hotels, restaurants, spas and cruise ships, but if I had to pick one thing that consistently inspires me about the people behind the projects, it’s their ongoing need and desire to keep learning and growing in their field.
Our advisory board members were creating the event of their dreams in real time because they’re still eager to dig deeper and enhance their knowledge – no matter how many awards already sit on their shelves. As the moderator for one of the meeting’s breakout sessions, I got to see their excitement about topics from the blue sky to the granular. You’ll have to wait until January to see the full results of the dynamic discussion, but here are some teasers that made eyes light up:
· Upskilling for the most technical parts of the job. From the ins and outs of tax code compliance to MEP know-how, the details have never been more aspirational to master.
· The creative explosion in the industry. New brand launches, brand extensions and new concepts are driving not just a flurry of openings but a new way of defining “hospitality.”
· What technology can offer combined with (human) smarts. High-quality tools make jobs easier and faster – in the hands of a skilled artist. That’s what cutting-edge tech could do for hospitality.
What makes YOU curious? Let us know in the comments – and hopefully get your answers in person this January.
ALIS DESIGN will debut January 24-25, 2024, at the JW Marriott/Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles L.A. LIVE. The event is presented in conjunction with the Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS) and produced by Northstar Travel Group in association with American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) and The BHN Group. Key initial supporters include NEWH, Inc The Hospitality Network, the International Society of Hospitality Consultants (ISHC) and Hotel Investment Today.
