MORNING KEYNOTE: Steve McKee - President of McKee Wallwork +Co

2016 was a year of great consequence. Some people were happy with the results of the national election and mystified about what happened in New Mexico. Others were dismayed by the national results and pleased with what happened here. Still others were upset about both. Whatever your perspective, 2017 portends to be year of change—some good, some bad—for our industry and the thousands of people we employ. In this conference-opening keynote, Steve McKee will elaborate on what to look for (and look out for) as the year unfolds.

LUNCH KEYNOTE: Amir Eylon - President of Longwoods International USA Inc., & Chris Klauda - Director of Destination Research for Smith Travel Research

In today’s day and age, decision makers in the hospitality and tourism industry can no longer rely merely on anecdotes of the traveler’s experience. On the flip side, the industry cannot expect to succeed by relying purely on data alone. Today, success is reserved for those who can strike a delicate balance between consideration to the traveler’s experience and occupancy data. Join us during our marquee presentation as we explore the 2017 Tourism Outlook and Trends by fusing these two topics together into a dynamic discussion.

Amir Eylon, President of Longwoods International USA Inc., will join Chris Klauda, Director of Destination Research for STR, to discuss how travel trends and occupancy data can help decision makers in the hospitality and tourism industry optimize their operations. Over the course of this presentation, Eylon and Klauda will emphasize:

• Travel trends and occupancy data over the last 18 months and projections for what will happen heading forward
• Key strategies and best practices for hotels to capture these trends
• Future inventory
• The impact of Airbnb
• Motivators in driving consumer choice

The 1-hour keynote will function as a dynamic discussion between our presenters, moderated by Adrian Perez, President of Heritage Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
