NEW YORK, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Hotel & Motel Management magazine, part of the HotelWorld Network, is pleased to announce that the full educational program for the second annual Distressed Hotel Summit is now available online. The Summit will be held November 1-2, 2010 in Washington, DC at the Almas Conference Center and is expected to have 300+ hospitality industry professional attendees including owners and buyers of distressed hotels, lenders, management companies, lawyers and special servicers. It will take a straight-forward approach to distressed assets with a focus on the four 'R's of distressed asset management: Recapitalization, Repositioning, Receivership and Recovery.
"The educational program for this year's Summit was created based on relevant industry trend analysis and input from the Distressed Hotel Summit Advisory Board and editorial staff at Hotel & Motel Management magazine," says Stacy Silver, Executive Director, Hotel & Motel Management.
