WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

The Real Marketing Challenge: Favoring Adventure Over ‘Awareness’

The greatest marketing challenge for hoteliers is not, all print and TV promotions to the contrary, an issue of building “awareness.”

From luxury brands and their respective catchphrases that emphasize wealth and exclusivity to a chain of roadside motels, their number-as-logo shining like a beacon to tired travelers and corporate journeymen throughout America’s interstate highways, there is no confusion or ignorance about the many players within the hospitality industry.

Nor is there any ambiguity, in terms of marketing, of how to reach potential guests.

Simply approximate the weight and the grade of paper stock of that lifestyle or business publication before you. If the distance between the table of contents and the first article is a flip book of seemingly animated sports cars, undulating palm fronds, and sparkling platinum and diamond necklaces, bracelets and earrings; if this makeshift Mutoscope is also an olfactory experience, courtesy of Chanel, Joy and Christian Dior – and if, in this parade of decadence and “scented cinema,” there is a full-page advertisement of a luxury hotelier’s marquee property – then there is no problem about awareness.
