Hospitality Professionals Connect at AHLA Fall Conference

No Comments

The ability to meet face to face, learn, network and connect with colleagues is near and dear to the event and meetings industry.

The American Hotel & Lodging Association’s Fall Conference, held last week at the Jacob K Javits Center in New York City, gave us the perfect chance for this!

With a tradeshow, educational events, and networking sessions scheduled over the course of several days, there was something for everyone…including young professionals.

The Under 30 Gateway, launched in July of 2008, is AH&LA’s fastest growing membership category – with over 600 members in just a little over a year! We took part in some fantastic events, specifically for Gateway members last week.

The conference was a great way to learn valuable advice from industry leaders and connect with peers from all areas of the country. Check out the Gateway’s Facebook page for photos and more information.

If your employer is a member of AH&LA, Gateway membership is free for you; or you can join for a special reduced fee.
