The panel of experts included Anna Scozzafava, VP/general manager, extended stay brands, strategy & operations, Choice Hotels International; Ron Pohl, president, international operations, BWH Hotels and president, WorldHotels; Kristen Hanich, director, research, Parks Associates, Matt Schwartz, CTO, Sage Hospitality Group; Peter Palli, SVP, property, owner and stay experience products & platforms, IHG Hotels & Resorts; and Kimberly Twiggs, associate VP, DIRECTV Hospitality.
