For over three decades, the Annual Host Users Group Conference has been a pivotal gathering. Following two years of virtual engagements and two years of hybrid events in 2022 and 2023, we are thrilled to announce the return of an exclusively in-person experience in 2024!
Join us this November in Vail, Colorado, at Grand Hyatt Vail. Situated along the picturesque banks of Gore Creek at the foot of Vail Mountain, Grand Hyatt Vail is conveniently located within walking distance of Vail Village in the heart of Vail Valley.

Did someone say Costume Party?
If this will be your first time attending HUG, it is important to know, we take our Wednesday night costuming very seriously! There is no requirement other than to enjoy the evening with your fellow HUGers, but we highly recommend you join the costume fun!
For all of you past HUG attendees, you know the drill. It's time to start dreaming up your costumes! The Board is already planning and you know the SMS team always brings their A-Game! Keep an eye out as we get closer to the event when we announce this year's theme!
If you need ideas, don't hesitate to reach out to your HUG Board Members or your SMS Account Manager, we'll happily throw ideas your way!
