While technology has made it easier than ever to stay connected, some of the most valuable insights I've gained throughout my career have come from face-to-face conversations with clients and industry peers. Those moments often challenge our thinking, broaden our perspective, and help us become better strategic hospitality advisors. As I prepare for The Lodging Conference next week, I'm looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues, meeting new industry leaders, and learning from the conversations that shape what's next for hospitality. In this article, I share why personal connection still trumps digital and why investing in relationships remains one of the best ways to create value for the clients we serve.

A New Name. A Bigger Mission. Today, we're proud to introduce Sourcient. Organizations face growing expectations around sustainability, supplier transparency, animal welfare, local sourcing, and social impact. Yet the data needed to manage and report on these commitments remains fragmented and difficult to validate. That's where Sourcient comes in. We help organizations transform complex sourcing data into trusted intelligence, making it easier to validate claims, measure impact, and report with confidence. Because sourcing isn't just about where food comes from anymore. It's about transparency. It's about accountability. It's about understanding and validating hundreds of sustainability, welfare, labor, local, environmental, and health-related attributes that impact procurement decisions every day. Smarter data. Better decisions. Greater impact. 🔗 Follow Sourcient for insights, innovation, and practical solutions that help turn responsible sourcing commitments into measurable results. #Sourcient #ESG #Procurement #SupplyChainInnovation #ResponsibleSourcing
