Small Luxury Hotels of the World will host its 13th Annual International Conference in London from November 10 to 12, 2005 . To take place immediately before London’s World Travel Market, this year’s conference will be attended by more than 300 delegates representing 200 independent hotels from 45 countries around the world.

Aptly themed “The Next Generation,” the two-day event will not only feature a busy business program with guest speakers, panel discussions and workshops, but a exciting social agenda kicked-off by an exclusive event at Asprey of New Bond Street, culminating with a gala dinner at London’s Landmark Hotel.

Guest speakers at the event will include The Luxury Institute’s CEO and Founder, Milton Pedraza; Peter Yesawich, Chairman and CEO of travel marketing firms YPB&R; and Simon Woodroffe, founder of the Yo! Sushi chain and Yotel. Industry-led panel sessions and interactive workshops will cover topics as diverse as revenue management, the changing pattern of luxury distribution and the importance of attracting the best customers.
