Stars of the Industry Awards Luncheon

What do you get when you bring 500+ hospitality pros together for an afternoon of cheers, big smiles, and well-deserved recognition? An absolutely unforgettable Stars of the Industry Awards! 

Last year’s celebration at the Sheraton Denver Downtown was our biggest yet—with 228 incredible nominees and 39 shining winners who lit up the room. From heartfelt applause to a few happy tears, the energy was off the charts.
