As HICAP embarks on its 35th year, the conference is as vibrant, productive, and meaningful as ever. The 2025 program and its topics are being developed with the help of the HICAP 2025 Portfolio of Events Program Planning Committee and Regional Advisors, representing leaders from the hotel and lodging industry, the investment community, and key advisors. The program features over 30 sessions and panels led by about 150 industry leaders across all sectors of the hotel investment and tourism industries as they look ahead to the future and what evolution is on the horizon.
