Kalahari Resorts & Conventions is excited to formally introduce the dynamic duo supporting the New Jersey meetings market: Gillian LaTorre and Lisa Slotkin. Both bring extensive hospitality experience and a shared passion for helping planners create memorable events.
For Gillian LaTorre, Kalahari stood out as more than a hotel; it’s a true destination experience. From expansive meeting spaces to diverse dining and amenities, she was drawn to a property that delivers something different. With experience working with a variety of groups, Gillian understands that planners need more than space; they need a responsive partner who brings creativity, flexibility, and solutions to the table.
When Lisa Slotkin joined the team over a year ago, she was equally inspired by Kalahari’s culture. As a family-owned company with a strong philanthropic spirit, she was immediately impressed by the values behind the brand. After touring the convention space, she knew the unique environment, from African-inspired artwork to immersive design, offered planners an experience far beyond the traditional “box” meeting venue. She has enjoyed introducing Kalahari’s unique offerings to planners and seeing their events thrive at Kalahari.

Together, Gillian and Lisa bring a collaborative approach to the planner relationship. Both emphasize responsiveness, adaptability, and genuine partnership to work as an extension of your team to anticipate needs and deliver seamless experiences.
For MPI New Jersey planners looking to create meetings that go beyond expectations, Gillian and Lisa are ready to help bring those visions to life at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions.
