PHLCVB luncheon – The Best Kept Secret and Networking event of the year

January 6, 2014 by HughE Dillon

The PHLCVB luncheon
is held annually at the Marriott Hotel on the day before Thanksgiving, I
have been known to put off my trip over the hill and through the woods
to attend the event.

Many of the movers and shakers in the hospitality industry attend this fairly exclusive event. So many stories are gathered at this event, some of which I have tweeted about, some I hold onto for a more appropriate time.

The best part of the event is catching up with old friends.
