Corey’s Spotlight Session at the 2018 AIHP Summit in Norfolk, VA

Pat, Jack, and Corey spent the last week of February in lovely Norfolk, VA attending the 2018 AIHP Knowledge Sharing Summit and Marketplace. The conference was a great success, with more than 500 attendees on hand. As always, it was great to reconnect with friends while also making so many new ones!

The 2018 AIHP Knowledge Sharing Summit was certainly that, with more than 65 panels and presentations throughout the week. In fact, there were so many it was hard to choose from among them. There were sessions on food photography, increasing your conversion rate, making excellent coffee, and keeping Google happy, to mention just a few.

The general consensus was: if there isn’t a session on it, it probably isn’t a real topic.

Pat presented What’s Next for Marketing? and also served on two panels: A Beginners Guide to the New Inn Owners Online Presence and the Expert Panel Live Marketing Review of Three Websites.

The 2018 AIHP Marketplace was also a bustling hive of activity. We enjoyed browsing the offerings when we could get away. Mostly, we were kept busy meeting both new friends and old as they stopped by the InsideOut Solutions booth.
