Bridging Hospitality: IHLA's 2025 Conference & Trade Show 

After years of requests and planning, IHLA is excited to introduce the first-ever Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association Conference & Trade Show.
This full-day event will feature the IHLA Annual Business Meeting, inspiring keynote speakers, in-depth hotel data reviews, and a comprehensive trade show. Attendees will have the chance to connect with our partners and explore the wide range of services offered by our Allied & Strategic Partners. 
​
This year's Annual Business Meeting, traditionally held during the Stars of the Industry event, will kick-off the morning, providing a unique opportunity to gain insight into IHLA’s Board voting process and key government affairs initiatives designed to protect and support our hotels. Don’t miss this chance to engage, learn, and network!
