Trendsetter Tuesday: Where Does Javier Cano Find the Time to Be So Awesome and Inspiring?

Native Los Angeleno Javier Cano wears many hats, from overseeing
10 hotels in Greater Los Angeles, including LA LIVE’s JW Marriott
and The Ritz-Carlton, to being chair of the Los Angeles Tourism
Marketing District and on the executive committee of the Los
Angeles Tourism & Convention Board as well as the California
Hotel & Lodging Association.


In addition, he’s on the board of directors of the California
Travel Association, Hotel Association of Los Angeles and Central
City Association, among others. Cano has also been recognized
among the 500 most influential people in L.A., GM of the Year for
Marriott and GM of the Year for Los Angeles. We also named him a
2024 Meetings Trendsetter.


Meetings Today's Tyler Davidson somehow got worked into Javier's
busy schedule for a podcast interview.
