This is where Australia and New Zealand’s hotel development and investment professionals get deals done! While recent situations may limit the way we interact and change the way we travel, our industry is resilient, and we will recover and get back to business with time.

This has always been dedicated to fostering an environment that allows you to cut through the noise, maximize your time, network with your peers, and most importantly, develop relationships and leads that carry beyond the conference -- and that is what we intend to carry forward into 2022.

This is an annual meeting place for the Australian and New Zealand hotel and tourism industry.
