Introducing the Canadian Hotel GM Exchange 2025: A Game-Changer for Hotel Leaders

Empowering Canada’s Hotel Leaders: The Canadian Hotel GM Exchange

STAY Magazine and Big Picture Conferences are proud to announce the inaugural Canadian Hotel GM Exchange (CHGME), scheduled for January 22, 2025 at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel in Toronto. This exclusive summit is set to be the premier gathering for hotel general managers across the country, offering an invaluable opportunity to network, collaborate, and sharpen leadership skills.

A Dedicated Forum for Hotel GMs

As the first dedicated event for general managers in Canada’s hospitality sector, CHGME is more than just another industry conference. It is a highly focused forum, tailored specifically to the needs of property-level leaders, where participants can dive into key challenges facing the industry and explore actionable strategies to drive their hotels to new heights. Unlike broader hospitality conferences, CHGME is curated exclusively for those in leadership positions, providing a space for in-depth discussions on operations, labor management, stakeholder relations, and capital deployment.

Brought to you by Big Picture Conferences, the organization behind major industry events like the Canadian Hotel Investment Conference (CHIC) and the Western Canadian Lodging Conference (WCLC), CHGME promises to deliver the same level of expertise and high-impact programming, but with a laser focus on hotel operations and management.

Engaging, Collaborative Sessions

The heart of CHGME lies in its expertly curated sessions, which will tackle the most pressing operational challenges and opportunities in today’s hospitality landscape. From managing labor shortages to understanding the shifting demands of guests, these sessions are designed to provide GMs with the tools they need to enhance their leadership skills and boost the performance of their hotels.

Expect to hear from industry veterans and thought leaders who will share their insights on:

• Maximizing Operational Efficiencies: Explore innovative solutions for streamlining hotel operations, reducing costs, and improving service delivery without compromising guest satisfaction.
• Navigating Labor Market Challenges: As labor shortages continue to affect the hospitality industry, this session will delve into creative approaches for attracting and retaining talent.
• Capital Deployment Best Practices: Learn how to effectively allocate resources for renovations, upgrades, and strategic investments to ensure long-term profitability.
• Adapting to Changing Guest Expectations: With guest preferences evolving in response to technological advancements and new travel trends, this session will explore how GMs can stay ahead of the curve to enhance guest satisfaction and loyalty.

Exclusive Networking Opportunities

CHGME isn’t just about learning from expert presenters; it’s also a rare opportunity for GMs to connect with their peers in a collaborative setting. The summit will offer ample opportunities for informal conversations and relationship-building, culminating in a first-of-its-kind GM Networking Cocktail Soirée. This exclusive gathering will allow attendees to continue discussions, share experiences, and forge valuable industry connections in a relaxed and social environment.

Mark Your Calendar for January 2025

As hotel leadership becomes increasingly complex, events like CHGME are critical for fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.
