State Of The Industry

The time is quickly approaching to plan out your 2025 success. Join us for an exclusive event featuring top marketing, distribution, and revenue management executives as they share their expert perspectives on the greater DMV area market.

Start the event with an hour of networking and connecting with colleagues and industry partners. Afterward, our panel of experts will present essential hospitality trends, data, and insights to help you and your property prepare for your 2025 plans and budgets.

At the event, connect with colleagues and partners from across the industry using Bridge Badge, an interactive networking platform that helps you find connections quickly.

Please bring a Backpack to donate! Each year, thousands of at-risk kids start school without the necessary supplies. We're inviting each State of the Industry attendee to bring a new backpack suitable for a middle school student. These backpacks will be donated to a school in the DMV area.
