Qualified hotel owners, operators and hospitality professionals with purchasing authority or influence may be eligible to participate in THS Connect.

Eligibility is determined based on registration information, including job function, purchasing responsibilities and company profile. Qualified participants will be contacted directly by a member of our team.

No separate application is required. If you're eligible, you'll be invited to participate in the program after completing your event registration. If you’d like to proactively express interest, you can also submit the THS Connect Interest Form.

Qualified decision-makers agree to attend eight pre-scheduled, 15-minute meetings with matched exhibitors during the show. These meetings take place right on the show floor.

Qualified decision-makers receive one complimentary All Access Pass to The Hospitality Show. Those who complete all eight scheduled meetings will also receive a $500 travel stipend to help offset costs like hotel or airfare.

THS Connect uses a double opt-in process. Both exhibitors and qualified attendees share their preferences and areas of interest. Our team uses that information to schedule meetings that align on both sides.

Matches are curated based on business needs, sourcing categories, and mutual interest to ensure conversations are relevant and productive.

All meetings are held in the expo hall during regular show hours.

Only qualified decision-makers who attend all eight scheduled meetings will receive the $500 stipend. If you’re unable to fulfill the commitment, you may forfeit the stipend and future eligibility.

Participation is not automatic, but all exhibitors have the opportunity to take part in THS Connect by adding it to their sponsorship package. The program includes eight pre-scheduled, 15-minute meetings over two days.
