2011 Hunter Hotel Investment Conference Set for March 6-8 in Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA--Officials of the Hunter Hotel Investment Conference announce that the 23rd annual event will be held March 6-8, 2011 at the Marriott Marquis Atlanta.

“We were pleasantly surprised that our 2010 attendance was essentially unchanged when compared to last year," .said Bob Hunter, (top right photo)  CEO of Hunter Realty and conference chair. 

"We see that as a strong signal that hotel owners and buyers, in spite of a difficult economy, wanted to gather together to discuss the current market conditions and hear the collective thoughts and ideas of their fellow owners, as well as to listen to knowledgeable industry experts,

 “Feedback from our 2010 conference in March indicated that recovery, hotel values, Special Servicers and financing were spot-on themes as the industry was bottoming out and showing its first signs of rebound. Based on recent industry trends, we are optimistic that our topics in 2011 will focus entirely on how to maximize the rebound effect.”

The three-day conference, one of the four major national hotel investment conferences, focuses primarily on hotel owners and their concerns. Feedback from the 2010 post-conference survey indicated that education and networking were the two most valuable take-aways for participants.

“We will hold our preliminary planning session May 18 and welcome ideas and suggestions from everyone in the industry,” Hunter said. Suggestions may be made on the conference website, http://www.hunterconference.com/,  or by contacting Bob Hunter or Nancy Petenbrink, conference coordinator, at 770-916-0300 or by email at nancy.petenbrink@hunterhotels.net.

The conference headquarters are located at 300 Galleria Parkway, S-620, Atlanta, GA 30339.
