The Fall event is an opportunity to learn important new information and local developments; connect with old friends and make new ones at our early reception; and include your voice in important discussions.  Topics will include:

- Ohio’s School Start Date
Some school districts across the state started earlier than ever, as the start date creeps into early August on its way to July.  Coalitions of parents, family groups and others are starting to ask Ohio to look at later start dates, and legislation has been introduced in the Ohio General Assembly.  Our partners from attractions and CVBs will join us for a mini-roundtable on the issue, the proposals, and the possibilities for action.

 - Introducing the Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel

A massive renovation project will result in new chic hotel in the heart of downtown, with sweeping views of the Maumee River from the rooftop bar on the 12th floor. The multi-million dollar investment in the city’s only riverfront hotel promises to be a positive step for the region’s travel economy.  See what special touches will make this property unique, and how it will be an important part of growth in the region.

- OHLA Update

From Airbnb, to illegal lodging taxes, to per diem changes and more, OHLA is working on behalf of hoteliers and the travel economy every day.  Get a brief update on our new activities underway, and our plans to address important issues just over the horizon.

Special social and networking event!  After our business meeting, stay a while with your friends and colleagues as our host property provides a fun setting for our Annual Reception. Great food and refreshments will be provided complements of our event sponsors.
