I've not gone to either the past couple of years because they're just an annoyance for me at this point - everyone who's down there should be at their desk responding to me instead of enjoying the vegas heat! - but if you're there to network, there's nowhere better. \n\n\n\n  ", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dt3kc7n", "text": "Just got back from NMHC.

ICSC in Vegas is much more of a party and there is more deal-making going on from what I've been told.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dt96m1a", "text": "For hotel investment, ALIS in LA in January was this week and is the best one of the year for institutional capital. The two other major conferences are NYU in NYC in June and The Lodging Conference in Phoenix in September. There's also some smaller ones that attract more regional investors such as AAHOA and Hunter. There's also IHG and Hilton owner's conferences that attract a wide mix of investors.", "replies": [{"id": "dtfaer0", "text": "ALIS and NYU are by far the best.  PHX is good, but a step below ALIS/NYU - not always a bad thing as people are a little more accessible.  Hunter, I have found to be more 3-star type groups if that happens to be your area.\n\nHD Expo while not an investor focused conference does have a fair amount of owner attendance and of course is great if your trying to build/manage vendor relationships.\n\n(I work in hotel development)", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
