PHOENIX— The upcoming 12th annual Lodging Conference has been sold out for the fifth consecutive year. According to conference producer Harry Javer, the event— which takes place Sept. 18-21 at the Arizona Biltmore here— is expected to draw better than 1,100 people, which is slightly better than last years turnout. “Well probably turn away a few hundred people this week but its a high level conference that deserves a high level of service. In order to keep it at that high level, we need to turn people away,” said Javer.
