Aimed at active participants in the hotel industry�owners, developers, investors, lenders, or consultants�the program will review the fundamentals for novices and experts alike, as well as examine some of the more complex and sophisticated issues surrounding condo hotels. The meeting will be held at the Rancho Las Palmas Marriott Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage, California, to begin with a �can�t miss� evening cocktail reception on Thursday, March 10, 2005, followed by the full-day condo hotel program, featuring presentations by top industry experts on Friday, March 11, 2005.

These are the people you really want to hear and meet one-on-one. �Condo hotels have emerged as the hottest development in the hospitality industry, in part, because of the quick return on investment they can provide in the right situation,� said Butler. �But keen analysis is critical, and they do not work everywhere,� he added. The critical topics covered by the panel of condo hotel veterans include:
This event begins with a welcome reception on Thursday night, March 10, 2005 at 7 pm.
