PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Luxury Hotel Association will hold its 11th annual INSPIRE22 conference at the Arizona Biltmore on December 14-15.

Bill Walshe, CEO, Viceroy Hotels & Resorts, will open the event with a keynote on Lodging Leadership 2.0: Prepare to Pivot and Cindy Estis Green, CEO & Co-Founder, Kalibri Labs, will give a keynote on Commercial Strategy in the Digital Market: Managing Costs of Acquisition..
