The Oklahoma Hotel & Lodging Association's annual Lodging Summit is our most exciting event of the year, where lodging operators from around the state of Oklahoma and their key team members have the opportunity to network with colleagues and others important to the success of their operation. The key components of the event include the association's Annual and Board of Directors meetings where our new Board of Directors is elected, Oklahoma's largest lodging Vendor Expo where operators meet with the top providers of products and services, and last but not least our prestigious Stars of the Industry Awards luncheon.  The Summit also features leadership of the American Hotel & Lodging Association as they highlight the state of the industry from a U.S. perspective.

The OHLA Stars of the Industry Awards has a 20+ year history of honoring outstanding professionals in Oklahoma’s lodging industry. The awards are presented to individuals and properties that epitomize the service and spirit of our industry. If there is ever a year to recognize employees it is this year, as nominations are based on 2020 achievements. Employees have adapted to the ever-changing needs of their property, carrying multiple department responsibilities and all while working harder than ever to keep guests safe and provide a wonderful place to stay.

No doubt, 2020 will be memorable and provide for much reflection. We encourage you to join with OHLA in leading the lodging and meetings industry to recovery and success in 2021.
