MEMPHIS, TN —Officials of the Southern Lodging Summit (SLS), an annual
hotel conference focusing on development and operations throughout the southern
United States, announced it will postpone this year’s physical gathering due to
the on-going coronavirus pandemic.
Instead, the
organization will host a “virtual update,” providing pre-recorded sessions to
interested parties.
“While there is nothing more we wanted than to host this year’s event in
person, Memphis and Shelby County remain in Phase Two of its recovery, meaning
we are limited in terms of the number of people who can gather,” said Wayne
Tabor, president & CEO, Metropolitan Memphis Hotel & Lodging
Association.

"As a result, we have decided to tape certain sessions
and post the material for interested parties. Even though we can’t bond
over ribs at the Rendezvous and southern hospitality at the south’s grand
hotel, The Peabody, we still can share knowledge and best practices with
one another to help hoteliers find the ‘new normal.’”
The conference will maintain its annual online auction that
is scheduled to run from August 10, 2020 through Aug.28, 2020.
Auction items include travel and food & beverage packages from all over the
country.
