We were proud to host our Second Annual Green Team Summit, bringing together an expanded group of attendees from across the East Coast for a meaningful exchange of ideas, collaboration, and inspiration around sustainability. This year’s summit was especially impactful with keynote speaker Ami Vitale, whose perspective and storytelling brought an important and powerful lens to our discussions. We were also excited to launch our first-ever Green Team Award, recognizing outstanding commitment and leadership in this space. Congratulations to The Westin New Orleans, our inaugural first-place recipient. A sincere thank you to all of our guest speakers and sponsors who helped make this event possible. Your partnership, insight, and support contributed to a truly memorable and successful summit. #WeAreHighgate #Sustainability #GreenTeam #Hospitality
