NEW YORK (Oct. 21, 2024) -- The Hospitality Show, the industry’s leading technology and operations event produced by Questex and the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), announced an extensive list of program highlights and sponsorships today.

This year’s event will take place at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 28-30, bringing together thousands of owners, operators, and leading hospitality professionals for three days of networking, education, and tangible tools to operate more efficiently.

Recently awarded the prestigious Trade Show Executive Gold 100 Grand Award for “Best New Event Launch 2023,” The Hospitality Show will capitalize on key activations and networking components that were popular at the inaugural event, plus introduce new additions to elevate the experience. Attendees can expect to leave with tangible takeaways from 100+ industry experts across four distinct stages and valuable new relationships with innovative service providers.

The event will feature:

• An Outdoor Hospitality Activation highlighting how technology and design can increase revenue in outdoor spaces.
• An ESG Pavilion, which curates vendors focused on helping hoteliers optimize sustainability initiatives for long-term growth, attract eco-conscious travelers, and boost their bottom lines.
• An In-Room Entertainment Zone, sponsored by DIRECTV® HOSPITALITY, showcasing the latest in guest entertainment technology to keep guests connected and entertained.
• 'Meet Me in the Lobby' — a centralized meeting space for attendees that serves as a living case study on how hotel owners and operators can turn underutilized lobby spaces into profit centers.
• Three dedicated stages featuring two days of content focused on driving profitability:
  • The Spotlight Stage will feature 20-minute product showcases from a selection of vendors, highlighting innovative solutions that drive profitability.
  • The Solutions Stage will offer deep dives into pressing issues in a smaller, more intimate setting, optimal for Q&A.
  • The F&B Theater will explore ways to drive ancillary revenue through creative food and beverage offerings.
• The Show’s dynamic Expo floor will be filled with more than 400 leading technology and operations vendors.
