ALIS will be moving to the Hilton San
Diego Bayfront in San Diego, California, USA – a substantially larger
venue to accommodate our increasingly growing conference. This gorgeous
new waterfront hotel provides many valuable benefits for our delegates,
including:
A great location within
walking distance to world-class restaurants and shopping, as well as
PETCO Park.
A quick drive to San
Diego International Airport.
More sleeping rooms and
lots of alternate hotels within walking distance to accommodate
overflow.
A variety of nearby
venues – including yacht rentals – to host sensational parties and
events.
Much more!
ALIS
is the annual meeting place for hotel executives, investors,
lenders, developers and the professional advisory community in the hotel
and tourism industry. It is an event that brings together leading experts
and investors to discuss important trends and to identify new
opportunities. In January 2008, a record crowd of nearly 3,000 industry
leaders attended ALIS.
WHAT IS ON THE PROGRAM TRACK?
While details of the program are still in
the planning stages, ALIS promises to feature an extensive array of
seminars, workshops and presentations about important and timely issues
facing the hotel investment community. Additionally, a heavy emphasis in
the programming is placed on giving delegates a chance to meet and conduct
their business during the event. The program is designed with the help of
the program steering committee, which is composed of leaders from the
hotel industry, the investment community and key advisors.

NETWORKING! NETWORKING! NETWORKING!
As
part of the ALIS Networking Connection, delegates will have the
opportunity to search and contact other delegates before and during ALIS
to set-up meetings, lunches, get-togethers, etc. This feature will enable
communication via email, but your email address will not be disclosed to
other delegates. All email addresses will remain confidential at all
times in the ALIS Networking Connection. If you do not wish to be
accessible through the ALIS Networking Connection feature, you will have
the option to “opt out” while registering for the conference.
BENEFITING FUTURE LEADERS!
Perhaps the most meaningful and unique
part of ALIS is its organizational purpose. The hosts of the conference
are committed to contributing a significant portion of the net proceeds of
the event to educating future leaders in the hospitality industry.
Benefiting from the event is the American
Hotel & Lodging Educational Foundation and the
American Hotel & Lodging Educational
Institute. By attending ALIS, you will
be supporting the education of the hospitality industry’s future leaders.
