Hotel Roadmap: Insider Tips for Navigating RFP Season and Resetting Hotel Partnerships

Join us on September 15th at the Hilton Boston/Dedham hotel for an in-depth panel discussion on the current challenges that are being faced as we negotiate preferred hotel programs, adjust our approaches to groups/meetings, and reset our buyer/supplier hotel partnerships for 2023.  As we move forward during these interesting times in the travel industry, corporate travel buyers and hotel suppliers are having to pivot like they have never done before.  This thought-provoking conversation will address best practices and important updates that we all need to be considering regardless of the side of the table we each sit on.

We will kick off the program with Sebastian Colella, VP of Pinnacle Advisory Group, providing an outlook of the hotel landscape in the company months.  This will set the stage for our expert panel discussion moderated by Rena Briggs.  They will tackle how to navigate the new terrain ahead and how to manage goals and expectations for buyers, suppliers and travelers.  Register by August 31 to be entered into the early bird raffle.  We look forward to seeing you!
