ANNUAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE

2024 Education Conference: The Art of Hospitality and the Influence of AI

The National Concierge Association has gathered on an annual basis in the month of August (traditionally the lightest part of the travel season for most concierges) for decades. The annual conference is considered by members to be a highlight of their membership because it allows for deep connection between colleagues from around the country — and now, around the globe!

The 2024 conference will be held in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona at the Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch. Among the delightful aspects of the area are the world-renowned golf courses, spas, shopping centers, hiking trails, restaurants and outdoor adventures. Nearby Old Town Scottsdale has 1920’s buildings, 19th-century olive trees, art galleries and eateries in a walkable segment of the city.

The speakers will be covering such relevant topics as the incorporation of AI and other modern technology in the service industry, and more. There will be an Affiliate Business EXPO and Networking Symposium, panel discussion, keynote speaker, a dine-around event, and of course the annual Gala Awards Banquet.

The Conference Includes:
