Bisnow Media to Host Second Annual BLIS - Bisnow Lodging Investment Summit

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bisnow Media, an online publisher and events producer serving the commercial real estate industry, announced today that it will host the second annual BLIS - Bisnow Lodging Investment Summit from April 24-25 at The Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.

“BLIS has a lot of energy, and unlike a lot of the big conferences where half the group is in their suites having private meetings, this is really a face-to-face gathering of all the people who are at the conference”

The conference will feature keynote talks from Hilton Worldwide CEO Chris Nassetta, Loews Hotels CEO Paul Whetsell and MGM Resorts International CEO Jim Murren. Additionally, top executives from Marriott International, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, FelCor Lodging Trust, Hersha Hospitality Trust, Smith Travel Research, Interstate Hotels & Resorts, and many others, will participate in a variety of panels that speak to the ongoing and emerging needs of the hospitality industry. More than 600 industry executives are expected to attend from across the U.S.

“BLIS has a lot of energy, and unlike a lot of the big conferences where half the group is in their suites having private meetings, this is really a face-to-face gathering of all the people who are at the conference,” said FelCor Lodging Trust Chairman Tom Corcoran, describing the inaugural BLIS event in May 2012.

BLIS 2013 will feature the BLIS Lounge, a WIFI-enabled, snack-stocked oasis for meeting and networking. Conference attendees will have lots of space to make themselves comfortable in an intimate and casual environment.

Registration is open, and early-bird pricing is available. Visit the BLIS website for more info and to sign up: http://www.bisnow.com/pages/2013/BLIS/indexb.html.
