Allied Member Toolbox

2023 OHLA Annual Conference & Gala

Another conference is under our belts, and we cannot thank our sponsors, exhibitors, and Allied Member attendees enough for your support, engagement, and attendance. This year, we brought together 480 lodging professionals, industry partners, and hospitality students and educators.

Our exhibitors enjoyed a re-imagined vendor time frame and format. Exhibitors were in open thoroughfares with dedicated time throughout Monday afternoon. Many partners stayed for our Stars of the Industry Gala dinner, which celebrated our industry’s hospitality leaders.

2024 Annual Conference & Gala will be held November 25-26. Location to be announced soon!

Congratulations to our Allied Member of the Year...
