Officials Expect Increased Attendance at Second Annual ‘Extended-Stay Hotel Conference’ |
|
Date Set for March 15, 2005, in Atlanta, Georgia |
Officials of the Extended-Stay Council of the American Hotel & Lodging Association today announced that its second annual conference will be held Tuesday, March 15, at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. The event will immediately follow the Atlanta Hotel Investment Conference.
"Our inaugural year attracted 150 participants without avid promotion, which indicates 'extended stay' remains an important and growing segment of the lodging industry," said Kevin Lewis chairman of the Extended-Stay Lodging Council. "Due to the industry rebound, and the inherent long-term potential of extended stay, there is little doubt that the segment will play an increasingly important role in the industry's future."
The Extended-Stay Conference will feature two panels and eight concurrent roundtable discussions. The first panel will focus on the concerns of senior-level executives and will discuss the future outlook of the extended-stay segment. The second panel, targeted to developers, will include a discussion of occupancy, daily rates and operations. Four different roundtables will deal with a variety of topics, including financing, marketing, development and operations.
Cost to attend the event is $79.99. Attendees of the 17th Atlanta Hotel Investment Conference receive a special rate of $49.99.
The Extended-Stay Conference works in close cooperation with the Atlanta Hotel Investment Conference, which will be held March 13-15, 2005. The Atlanta Hotel Investment Conference is one of the hotel industry's four major annual gatherings of senior hotel executives.
Additional information about the event, registration and related activities can be found by contacting the conference organizer, Peggy Berg at 404-872-4631 or pberg@highland-group.net.
