About ALIS
The Americas Lodging Investment Summit for hotel owners, investors, developers and financial professionals.
ALIS 2027
ALIS 2027 runs Monday to Wednesday, January 25–27, 2027, at the JW Marriott/Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles. It is the 26th annual Americas Lodging Investment Summit.
What it is
ALIS is a hotel investment conference produced by Northstar Travel Media. The organizer says it draws about 3,000 industry leaders, from investors and lenders to developers and owners, for three days of networking, deal-making and market discussion about investing in and developing hotels across the Americas. The program is shaped by a Program Planning Committee of hotel industry, investment and advisory leaders.
Program and schedule
The preliminary program opens Monday with registration at 7:15am, Speed Meet & Hotel Investments 101, the ALIS Tech Challenge and a Data, Trends & Solutions session before the opening plenary. Plenaries across the three days include rounds of the CEO Exchange, the ALIS Deal of the Year Awards and industry awards, with breakout sessions in between.
Monday ends with a gala opening reception hosted by Marriott International. The last day is short: Wednesday's Money Morning breakouts on equity, debt and the capital stack wrap up and ALIS concludes at 11:55am.
