Extended stay is booming. Remote workers, infrastructure projects, and housing displacement are driving demand beyond traditional business travel. As hotels merge with multifamily and short-term rentals, a new hybrid asset class is emerging.
2026 sessions focus on:
- AI and automation reshaping operations and revenue
- Capital stack strategies in today's high-rate environment
- Brand differentiation in a crowded market
- Timing acquisitions and development with data-driven signals
- Sustainability and wellness trends influencing asset value
