THE EXTENDED STAY Lodging Association and Kalibri Labs will host the third quarterly ExStay workshop on July 30 in Washington, D.C., following earlier sessions in Atlanta and Dallas. The event will bring together extended stay lodging executives for networking.
The workshop will feature experts from extended stay brands, management companies, performance trend firms and advisory groups, the organizers said in a statement.
Speakers include Doug Artusio, founder of the Extended Stay Lodging Association; Cindy Estis Green, CEO and founder of Kalibri Labs; Jennifer Hill, vice president of commercial strategy at Kalibri Labs; Mark Skinner, partner at Highland Group and Paul Novak, partner at Whitman Peterson.
The workshop’s “Development Data: U.S., Regional & Market Overview” session will use Kalibri’s extended stay performance data to address market questions for the D.C. area, including where demand is strongest for 7 plus night stays, which submarkets are under- or over-served, how federal and state funding changes affect opportunities near military bases, government centers and healthcare areas, and patterns in 7 plus night stays by market tier and the Mid-Atlantic region.
Attendees can expect sessions on investment strategies and Q&As on developing, renovating, converting and operating extended stay assets, the statement said. The event will also cover ownership challenges, operational practices, networking and market data insights by Kalibri’s analytics. The workshop addresses the need for specialized market intelligence in the extended stay sector, helping developers and brands reduce risk by moving beyond general performance data.
In April, AAHOA and Kalibri Labs launched a national study on federal policy impacts and industry challenges, showing a mixed outlook for 2025.
