The BLLA Mission

Founded in 2009, the Boutique & Lifestyle Leaders Association (BLLA) is the voice of the world’s independent boutique and lifestyle hotels, small brands and boutique businesses.

The BLLA Events Mission

Every revolution needs a meeting place-we gather pioneers to continue the creation of the Boutique Lifestyle.

We produce events that build the foundations that make up the new generation of the way we travel. We curate gatherings where your professional views are accepted. We search far and wide to find the best leaders to share their expertise with the community.

We do not view our events as conferences but instead as industry gatherings. We believe the future of new businesses is the mindset that they are passion projects that generate revenue. This mindset guides us in how we select our speakers, sponsors and attendees. BLLA Events constantly run in the opposite direction of the status quo in hospitality, and we hope you join on this journey.

The Purpose of BLLA Events.

To support the belief that businesses should be a collective effort to change the way we interact. BLLA supports the radical changes happening in the hospitality industry by providing gathering centers for intellectual vitality. We bring together the great educators of our time to share their insights with the community couple with attracting the connoisseurs of cool and the pioneers of tomorrow to participate.
