About this Event
Looking for an excuse to check out the newly renovated Nittany Lion Inn? Attend this Invent Penn State LIVE podcast recording with Scholar Hotels Founder and CEO Gary Brandeis.
This is a rare chance to hear directly from Gary as he shares his personal journey in the real estate and hospitality industry, from his first hotel acquisition in 2006 to managing top brands like Marriott, IHG, and Hyatt. He’ll also reveal behind-the-scenes stories of the Nittany Lion Inn's extensive 16-month renovation and how he transformed several hotels in the State College area into thriving businesses.
In the second half of the episode recording, attendees will get the opportunity to ask Gary questions of their own during the live audience Q&A session, only available to in-person attendees.
Gary will offer valuable insights into hotel development, management, and investing. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek into the future of hospitality and real estate, straight from someone who’s built a successful career working with both big brands and independent hotels.
After the recording, stick around to network with fellow attendees and enjoy the Inn’s new dining options. Try out Triplett’s, a casual bar and restaurant serving food and cocktails, or grab a coffee at Dear Joe. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with other entrepreneurs, professionals, and Penn State alumni.
Don't miss your chance to experience the newly reopened Nittany Lion Inn, fresh from its September 2024 renovation, and learn from one of the region’s top hospitality leaders.
The podcast recording portion of the event will be livestreamed to YouTube.
