Disruption & Transformation: What Else Should We Expect?
Featuring
Michael Dominguez
President & CEO of ALHI

From disruption of technological forces that are changing the way we work and play to changes in Washington which will take time to understand its full impact, it is important to understand the context of what is taking place. The speed of change is a force that we will all wrestle with over the next decade.

As the economic environment and hotel structure continue to change at a rapid pace, it is important to understand the current outlook, economic concerns and forecasts that will dictate behavior in all business environments. The impacts of global political and economic instability still exist although the global economy is growing together for the first time in modern history

In this dynamic session, industry veteran and award winner Michael Dominguez shares perspective on the latest trends and the impact in the hotel industry and meeting dynamics. 

Gain a better understanding of the economic environment, how structural changes will have an impact in 2024 and beyond, identify ways to optimize your ability to maneuver through this quickly changing environment.  

Learner Objectives:
  • Understand the need to get past Confirmation Bias and Narratives
  • Look at the impact of global political and economic forecasts.
  • Review industry forecast for the US and Global sectors
  • Understand changes in wealth shifts in our consumer.
  • Understand behavior changes and needs around new businesses created.
