Henderson Hospitality Summit
May 13th, 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Preston Arts Center
 
Rooted in the spirit of Unreasonable Hospitality, the Henderson Hospitality Movement unites the people who make our town thrive. Business owners, civic leaders, and neighbors share one goal: to make Henderson, Kentucky, the most hospitable town in America. We believe true hospitality is not a gesture but a mindset that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences through care, creativity, and kindness.
