Keynote: Roar into the Second Half of Your Life

The next big social movement to affect everyone is the New Longevity. As people live longer, they are redefining life over 50, in careers, lifestyles and relationships. Today's healthy 50-year-old may have another 40 years of living. The impact will be profound. How do businesses respond, but more importantly, how do individuals embrace this new reality to create a new and exciting second half of life? ROAR is the manifesto for finding that path.

Keynote: Hotel Industry Update

In 2020, the hotel industry was caught in the crossfire of the pandemic response, ranging from complete national shutdowns to conditional border reopenings to mandatory quarantines. Group hotel demand fell sharply as meetings and group events were cancelled and international travel came to a half. Fast forward to today and transient demand is very healthy meanwhile group recovery is underway. This session will examine the hotel performance of the Total U.S. today and provide an outlook for the future.
