2019 Southern Lodging Summit 

The program for the 17th Annual Southern Lodging Summit is outstanding! 

Lunch with the Speakers at the RENDEZVOUS - One of the Summit's most popular events, this is a great opportunity to mingle with the speakers and some old friends while also making some new ones.  With BBQ and networking this good, make sure you register early or run the risk of joining the dreaded "wait list." 
(Tuesday, August 27th.  Doors open at 11:15am - 1:30pm)

Hear the story from both sides.
