The Hospitality Show keynote speakers are ...

The first of its kind, The Hospitality Show is a bold new event for the entire hospitality ecosystem with one shared goal: operating hotels efficiently and profitably. Brought to you by The American Hotel & Lodging Association and Hotel Management, the event will bring together top industry leaders, senior executives of hotel brands, owners, operators, management companies and procurement specialists—and their teams—to discover, network and drive profitability.

We are proud to kick off the inaugural event, which will be held June 27-29, 2023, at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, with a keynote presentation by Kat Cole, advisor, investor and COO and president of Athletic Greens.

"Be a Leader of Innovation and Progress: How to Iterate, Adapt, and Succeed Faster"

As a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, a past member of the United Nations Global Entrepreneurs Council and a winner of Fortune’s 40 Under 40, Kat will push attendees to think about innovating faster, because let's face it, "If you don't, someone else will."

Head and shoulders of a man

In addition, we are excited to announce The Hospitality Show's Day 2 keynote presentation by Admiral William H. McRaven, best-selling author and national authority on U.S. foreign policy and U.S. Special Operations.

"A conversation with Admiral William H. McRaven, USN (ret.)"

Admiral McRaven has led an extensive and inspiring military career, including combat during Desert Storm, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and commanding the troops that captured Saddam Hussein and rescued Captain Phillips. He is also credited with leading the Osama bin Laden mission in 2011.

Admiral McRaven will empower attendees to put the right tools in place to reach new levels of achievement through teamwork, personal accountability, resilience, leadership, and determination.
