This morning, we joined Visit Indy as the presenting sponsor of the 2024 Hotel Symposium. We chatted market competition, 2024 and beyond outlook and, of course… the Taylor Swift effect. 📈📊📅 Grateful to have partners like Visit Indy selling our city!

Last week, we attended the ceremonial bill signing of SEA 146. The new law allows for 18-year-old’s to serve alcohol and includes several business friendly changes that the hospitality industry can utilize when employing youth and teaching valuable life skills to our next generation. A special thank you to Senator Rogers, Senator Buchannan, and Representative Culp!
