At the start of the year, CMS Cameron McKenna co-sponsored the annual New Year Hotel Investment Summit with Cushman & Wakefield Hospitality. 

The evening included the first release of hotel performance data for 2008 from STR Global and culminated with a panel of senior industry experts providing an insight into current trends, key drivers and predictions for the year ahead. Thomas Page gave a presentation on Opportunities and Issues arising from the Current Economic Crisis and Charles Romney was a member of the expert panel that discussed the current climate and its impact on the industry.
