Inside The Hospitality Show: Who’s attending and how to connect

The Hospitality Show 2025, Oct. 26-28 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, is bringing together the biggest names, smartest solutions, and most influential minds in the industry. From global hotel brands to innovative suppliers, this is where hospitality decision-makers gather to get business done.

Executives from companies like Marriott International, Hilton, Hyatt, Wyndham, Best Western, Red Roof and Cobblestone Hotels are already confirmed. Attendees will also meet leaders from American Express, Cintas, Ecolab, The Coca-Cola Company, Paramount+ and emerging players like Snowflake, Instawork and Guest Supply—each one offering a different piece of the puzzle as hospitality businesses look to scale smarter.

And this year, making the right connections is easier than ever.

New for 2025: Networking That Works Harder

The Hospitality Show expanded the networking offerings to better reflect how today’s hospitality professionals want to connect, with more targeted, flexible, and high-impact formats.

  • THS Connect: Curated 1:1 Meetings: This new program pairs qualified buyers with vetted suppliers for a series of pre-scheduled, 15-minute meetings held directly on the show floor. It’s a faster, more focused way to explore solutions, compare partners, and accelerate decision-making. Participating buyers receive a free All Access Pass and a $500 travel stipend for completing at least eight meetings.
  • Mobile Meetup Lounge: Connections Made Simple: If you prefer to keep it casual, the Mobile Meetup Lounge offers a dedicated spot to catch up with exhibitors, colleagues, or fellow attendees. Use The Hospitality Show app to request meetings or arrange a quick meetup in the moment.
  • VIP Lounge: Owners, operators, and other qualified buyers will have access to the VIP Lounge, a private space on the show floor designed for focused conversations, quick recharges, and stepping away from the crowd when you need a quiet moment to connect or reset.
  • 14+ Hours of Receptions and Peer Networking: Whether you’re catching up with colleagues, reconnecting with old friends, or meeting new partners, the networking events at The Hospitality Show are designed to move your business forward.

This year’s highlights include two signature evening events:

  • Opening reception in the Bluebird Ballroom: Watch the sunset over the Denver skyline while connecting with fellow attendees in a stunning space.
  • Second night reception at The Fillmore: Featuring live entertainment and high-energy vibes, this is your chance to network with thousands of industry professionals in one of Denver’s most iconic venues.
