Call for Presentations Now Open!
Do you have an idea, topic, or speaker that would benefit independent lodging professionals?
The ALP Unlocked 2027 Call for Presentations is now open through August 10, 2026.
This year, we're inviting the ALP community to help shape the educational program in three ways:
- Submit a session proposal if you'd like to present at ALP Unlocked 2027.
- Recommend a speaker you'd love to see on the program.
- Suggest a topic you'd like us to cover, even if you don't have a speaker in mind.
Whether you're an industry expert, a lodging professional with a success story to share, or simply have an idea for a topic our attendees need, we'd love to hear from you.
Our goal is to build a program that delivers practical, relevant education for independent lodging professionals at every stage of their journey.
Submissions and recommendations must be received by August 10, 2026.
