FOX Sports broadcaster Erin Andrews and the Salamander Collection's Sheila Johnson will headline the Wednesday keynote at this year's The Hospitality Show.
Johnson, founder and CEO of Salamander Collection, and Erin Andrews, FOX Sports Broadcaster, will share their incredible journeys as trailblazing women in business, sports, media and hospitality. From leadership and resilience to building meaningful connections, they'll dive into how diversity, teamwork and authenticity have shaped their paths to success.
Johnson established her footprint into the hospitality industry by purchasing 340 acres in Middleburg, Va., that became the site of the equestrian-inspired Salamander Resort & Spa. Johnson now oversees a portfolio of properties centered around unique destinations, including Hotel Bennett in Charleston, S.C.; Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica; and Innisbrook Resort in Tampa Bay, Fla., which is host to the annual PGA Tour Valspar Championship on its Copperhead Course.
In 2022, the company grew its portfolio by adding Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club in Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla; Aspen Meadows Resort in Aspen, Colo.; and the newly branded Salamander Washington, D.C.
Johnson built a career spanning several industries well before establishing herself as an entrepreneur in the hospitality space. She supports several organizations focused on education, the arts and fighting global poverty.
The keynote will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 9:05 a.m. on the main stage.
