BLLA Dares to Adapt With First Digital Summit

The Association Has Pivoted Its Popular Annual Conferences to Its First All-Day Digital Summit Gathering Boutique Leaders on Sept. 17

USA, Los Angeles, California. July 01, 2020

Boutique Lifestyle Leaders Association (BLLA) will combine its two most popular gatherings as an unmissable digital event this fall. The Boutique Lifestyle Digital Summit will be held on September 17 with the message of 2020, "Dare to Adapt." Top creative minds in hospitality will headline interviews, panel discussions, keynotes, boot camps, and newly designed formats including mentor power-hour sessions, a virtual trade show & invite-only meetups. The 2020 StayBoutique™ Award winners will also be announced during the summit with a special ceremony recognizing the most innovative and successful properties and more in the space.

"While we are all daring to adapt in our current climate, this full day of gathering the most astute minds in hospitality will foster the same camaraderie that we feel at our in-person events, with a focus on exclusive content and engagement between attendees and mentorship," said Frances Kiradjian, Founder & CEO of BLLA.

Summit events will fall under two tracks: The Boutique Hotel Investment Conference and The Art of Boutique Leadership, honoring essential know-how for boutique management for the next normal. Attendees will hear from the world's most notable hoteliers and boutique brands throughout the day, opening with keynotes and frank discussions by Jacques-Olivier Chauvin, CEO of Fauchon Hotels (France) and Roger Dow, CEO of U.S. Travel Association.
