2022 Welcome Conference
Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center
September 19th, 2022
----
Years ago, we set out to create the Welcome Conference, a day where people passionate about hospitality can come together and be inspired by others who embody it each day.

What started as a place for people to network, give inspiration, and share ideas has since evolved. We’ve welcomed over 90 speakers, on three storied stages in New York City — Cooper Union, The New York Times Center, and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center — that have shared their stories to over 5,000 people live and hundreds of thousands online.

We believe that living a life of hospitality will have a positive impact on our culture and the stories that we collect are worthy of sharing. In fact, you can find every video since 2014 on our page.
