Grow. Connect. Share.
Started in 2018 in humble Colorado, then expanding its connections nationwide, The Gatherings is an annual conference for USA hostel owners and managers to connect, share and grow together, addressing issues and challenges unique to the hostel industry, and ensuring that we carry the torch of American hosteling well and keep proving that hostels are more fun!
The gathering is usually held in the off-season during the week, and is a 3-day schedule.
Thank you for a wonderful 2023 Gatherings!

“Networking between hostels is a phenomenal way to learn the latest trends and share information on key components of hostel life; insurance, marketing, channel management, equipment. It’s fun to connect with others who can relate to this unique industry. Great and informative for current or potential hostel owners and managers.”
