We are so excited to share the 4th edition of our annual zine, In the Margins! In the Margins is an annual publication from ILC, curated to activate a unique dialogue within our community. We want to prioritize the innovative side, fueled by creativity because we believe that's what makes you Indie. Thank you to all the artists, indie professionals, and hospitality icons who contributed to this year's publication. Thank you to our collaborators at NMG Network for their design and printing services! Special thank you to Jason Cutinella, Sabrine Rivera, and Eleazar Herradura. #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #hotel #hotelindustry #development #membership #exclusiveperks #community #events #leadership #boutiquehotel #indiecongress #independent #hotelbusiness #hotelmanagement #travel #travelindustry #travelprofessional #hospitalityprofessionals #boutiquehotels #sanfran #sausalito #ca #event #restaurant #fandb #foodandbeverageindustry

Another great event this week by the team at Independent Lodging Congress!

“Be big. Work small.” James 'JC' Curleigh My first Independent Lodging Congress did NOT disappoint. I left inspired and energized by this industry and the people in it. It was a masterclass in hospitality as a vehicle for positive human connection. We answered questions like, “How do you turn stay into experience?” “Do you have to have amenities to offer value?” (Spoiler: the answer is partnerships) and “What do the next generation of travelers want?” We discussed our relentless obsession with guest touchpoints, the line between enhancing and eroding experience with the proliferation of digital, escalation versus scaling, and where independent hotels get it right with the culture of their BOH. We forecasted the evolution of luxury mirroring the evolution of how people value time. The evolution of design mirroring the evolution of how we use spaces. The evolution of wellness mirroring the evolution of community. We found commonality in our appreciation for sentiments like, “Deep listening by a front design agent is irreplaceable,” Patrick Siegel and “It’s the things that go wrong that lead to innovation, not the things that go right.” Eric Jafari Thank you to Independent Lodging Congress for bringing together this incredible group of humans in a gorgeous destination Cavallo Point Lodge... oh and for providing therapy bunnies. 🐰 #hospitality #indie #independent #boutique #branding

I always enjoy my time at the Independent Lodging Congress. It's a special place for the Indie Hospitality community and always held in a fun location. This year in Sausalito, CA at Cavallo Point Lodge did not disappoint! Caught up with industry partners, made new friends, and left feeling so full in my heart and creative mind! We celebrated the Indie Leaders, had a special dinner launching Allday, and heard from some of the most inspiring people I've met! Thank you Andrew Benioff Meg Gutowski Shannon DeRoos (Barnett) Zuzanna Rzotkiewicz Julia Parrick - you always make these events so special! Thank you to Josh Rubinstein and Jason Cutinella for hosting an incredible evening at Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa in their penthouse! Looking forward to seeing some of you next week at The Hospitality Show, and without fail will see this group in Nashville in February!!!
