This Reverse Tradeshow provides Allied Members with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with Lodging Executives for a 3 Minute "speed meeting."

In 2026, CFHLA will host its signature event, Hob Nob, on May 21, along with a smaller, secondary Hob Nob on November 17 at the Hilton Orlando Altamonte Springs. The mini Hob Nob will focus on Seminole County, Lake County, and UCF properties. A limited number of tickets for the November event are available now through the "Package Deal," which can be found on the main Hob Nob registration form.
