Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS) 2026

The Americas Lodging Investment Summit is the largest and most influential hotel investment conference in the world, drawing together the most active buyers, sellers, financiers, and operators in the lodging industry. ALIS 2026 returns to the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. Live for three days of deal-making, market intelligence, and high-level networking.

The conference brings together more than 3,000 attendees representing every major segment of the lodging investment landscape — from institutional equity and debt providers to independent owners and international operators expanding into the Americas. The opening general session sets the tone with a broad-market outlook delivered by the industry's most respected analysts and capital markets leaders.

Breakout programming in 2026 covers select-service acquisition strategies, the evolving role of brand affiliation in asset valuation, data-centre conversion to extended-stay hospitality, and the credit environment for new construction. The deal-making culture at ALIS is its defining characteristic — the conference consistently generates more executed transactions and letters of intent per attendee than any comparable event in the sector.

The ALIS Awards recognise outstanding achievement in hotel development, ownership, and investment across ten categories, with the Developer of the Year and Lifetime Achievement honours generating significant industry attention.
