PKF Consulting
is actively involved in the industries that we serve. We regularly
present at industry conferences, author articles for industry
journals and sit on numerous committees and boards. We are members
in over 30 industry associations across Canada, and are actively
involved in speaking
at or attending their many conferences and workshops. We believe
it is important to keep in touch with and to provide feedback to
the industry.
In
addition to our industry involvements and our various database
publications, PKF prepares annual industry Outlooks for the Canadian Accommodation
industry. These outlooks are published in our Monthly Trends Report,
in
Hotelier
Magazine’s Hospitality Market Report and are directly presented to
our key industry clients at PKF’s Annual Outlook Forums held annually
in the fall in both Toronto and Vancouver. The firm is also a proud
sponsor of the annual Canadian Hotel Investment Conference.
PKF also supports
the future of our industry through our annual
Frank Hughes Memorial Scholarships.
