- As expectations rise and customer interactions become more complex, industries across the board are recognizing that hospitality is no longer optional, it’s a strategic advantage. Blake Michelle Morgan brings unmatched expertise in helping organizations elevate service, satisfaction, and loyalty. Her workshop will explore how hospitality-driven leadership creates loyalty, strengthens relationships, and differentiates organizations in a competitive market, especially at a time when customers expect more ease, more empathy, and more authenticity. Attendees will learn how a hospitality mindset not only improves the consumer journey but also reduces friction across the entire RV ecosystem, from dealers and suppliers to manufacturers, campgrounds and end users. By focusing on hospitality, our industry can elevate experiences, build long-term trust, and ensure we’re meeting the expectations of today’s customer. This hands-on session will give leaders practical tools they can bring back to their teams to create more welcoming, responsive, people-centered interactions at every level.
