WHAT'S THE BUZZ IN HOSPITALITY?

2022 Hospitality Industry Conferences You Shouldn't Miss

Nov 30, 2021

It's that time of year when we typically start to think about our travel schedules for the coming year. While many of us have attended virtual or hybrid events the last two years, several of the conferences we know and love are ready to welcome us back with open arms – literally.

Whether you are part of a hotel, a brand, or a management company, a resort community, restaurant, the cruise industry, gaming, or part of an event venue, a golf club, spa, or even a technology provider for any of these types of properties, there are several conferences worthy of your time throughout the year.

Many hospitality industry professionals are looking forward to attending in-person conferences in 2022. We have compiled a list of hospitality industry events, and have noted where dates and locations are set or where they are still to be determined. Additionally, we have put together a list of resources that you can check throughout the year for updates on event schedules.
