Bisnow is excited to announce our brand new Digital Summit, an expansion of our virtual platform. Your digital ticket purchase includes 2 hours of content and 3 virtual networking opportunities, including 1-1 attendee chats to swap your digital business cards, the ability to request and accept video meetings during the day and 3-minute video-enabled speed networking! Access to view all sessions will be available on-demand for 30 days after the event.

Though calamities like the 2008 recession and 9/11 seemed in their times like they will define commercial real estate forever, our industry has always picked itself up and kept building. Hindsight has shown us the tenacity of the people in our industry, and that gives us hope that we can emerge from the current crisis stronger.

On September 29th, we will digitally gather hundreds of the hospitality industry’s preeminent voices in design, development, lending, investment and operations to share ideas, insight, analysis and opinions about the state of hospitality in California. Our all-star panelists will tackle the industry’s most pressing questions as well as provide answers to:

1. How do brands built on driving revenue outside the room plan to pivot, maximizing revenue and providing a superb and unique guest experience?

2. What changes to hotel design as a result of COVID-19 do industry leaders expect and which aspect of the property (pool, conference centers, room layout, etc.) will undergo the most drastic shift?

3. In a world where social distancing is the new norm, what tools are owners and operators using to manage and keep properties clean?

4. For owners and operators with existing portfolios, what do the economics of reopening (fixed costs, RevPar, etc.) look like?

5. In a market potentially rich with distressed assets, what opportunities exist and what factors — How much? Where? When? — do potential buyers consider?

6. If the capital markets stay slow and liquidity stays scarce, how will hospitality compete for attention and investment compared to other product types?

7. How did industry leaders react and adapt to COVID-19 and as local economies begin to reopen and travel restrictions lessen, how do they plan to move forward, providing a safer and cleaner environment for guests than ever before?
