Hotel ROI Conference Baltimore | Questex Media Group | 24 August 2017 | Hotel Rio, Baltimore, Hotel Rio, Baltimore

While both supply and demand are up, Baltimore’s hospitality industry is still feeling the financial hit from 2015’s protests and violent unrest. The only way to come back is to change the perception of the city. Visit Baltimore, the city’s CVB, has a campaign out to convince the city and state to build a new convention center, which would drive business dollars back into the economy. Baltimore’s City Council is also working toward attracting meetings and conferences currently scheduled in North Carolina looking to move due to the recent passing of House Bill 2.

Why Attend?

You will be armed with ideas, solutions and actionable insights that will make an immediate impact on your property. Whether you focus on infrastructure investment opportunities or strategies that force you to “think and act locally” in targeting specific growth sectors, you can take steps that positively influence your ROI.
