Teague Talks with Chris Nassetta of Hilton | Live from the 37th Hunter Conference

Live from the 37th Hunter Conference, Teague sits down with Hilton President & CEO Chris Nassetta for an on-stage conversation on what it takes to lead, evolve, and win in today’s hospitality industry. A 40-year industry veteran who started out plunging toilets at a Washington DC Holiday Inn, Chris brings a ground-level perspective that spans ownership, development, and running one of the world's largest hospitality brands. Now overseeing more than 9,500 properties across 150 countries, he opens up about why this industry has earned his life's work and why he feels it's his duty to give back to the next generation. Together, they dig into the real pressures owners are facing today, why Chris believes the macro tide is already starting to turn, and how Hilton is deploying AI across efficiency, distribution, and guest experience to drive results at the property level. Because no matter how much the industry evolves, a guest-first approach always wins.
