Event Details

Join the Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association (IHLA) and Be Kind AI Advisors for an interactive, 60-minute webinar on generative AI (GenAI) tools designed specifically for hospitality professionals. Running a hotel or hospitality business means constantly balancing guest satisfaction, staffing, costs, marketing, and daily operations.

This practical session will cover how GenAI tools like ChatGPT can help busy hoteliers and operators work smarter, improve everyday execution, and create better experiences for the guests they serve. Led by Matt Quinn, Founder of Be Kind AI Advisors, this session will cut through the tech jargon to provide plain-English guidance, live demos, and hands-on exercises designed to unlock quick, everyday AI wins for you and your team.

Attendees will learn how GenAI tools can help them save time on administrative tasks, improve property marketing, strengthen team communication, and support progress toward their business goals. No prior AI or technical experience is required to attend.
