200+ Extended Stay Hotels professionals
We curate intentional connections
Relationships that lead to closed transactions, strategic partnerships, and long-term collaborations.
Pre-scheduled one-on-ones
Meet the right people before you arrive.
Browse attendee profiles by role, expertise, and investment focus. Send meeting requests directly through the platform. Book private meeting rooms and build your entire schedule before the event even starts.
Walk in with a full agenda of high-value conversations already locked in.
Speed networking sessions
More contacts. Less time.
Maximize your reach with structured 5–7 minute rotations organized by role, sector, or investment interest. Meet 10–15 qualified contacts in under an hour.
Exchange insights quickly, identify mutual opportunities, and flag the connections worth deepening over coffee or dinner later.
Peer-to-peer strategy exchanges
Real talk with your peers.
Join intimate, role-based discussions with peers facing the same challenges you are. Investors talk capital strategy. Developers discuss deal structures. Service providers share market insights.
No presentations. No pitches. Just honest, off-the-record conversations that lead to lasting relationships and actionable takeaways.
Deal pitch sessions
Pitch your deal. Meet your partner.
Present active deals to a curated audience of investors, lenders, and strategic partners. Get real-time feedback from the room. Schedule one-on-one follow-ups on-site.
This isn't a demo day- it's a deal-closing accelerator designed to move opportunities from pitch to partnership.
