Day 3 highlights

Yesterday morning, bright and early, attendees gathered for the second General Session of AAHOACON21, which – like the prior day's session – was jam packed with speakers. VisitDallas President & CEO Craig Davis welcomed everyone to the city, commending AAHOA's commitment to holding the event, commenting that this was the city's "first true in-person event since the beginning of the pandemic." It's heartening, he added, to see such a large group make a statement with an in-person event and make up for lost time.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) greeted everyone via a pre-recorded message, and Small Business Administrator Isabella Guzman delivered a spirited message underscoring the power AAHOA Members wield in the industry and across the American economy at large, which is a message that was clearly on display on the Trade Show floor, which opened just as the General Session concluded.
