When someone refers a company instead\, MHH asks that company to name one person from its team. Every individual nominee will be recognized during the evening\, with no voting\, ranking\, or competition. \nPresented by Mile High Hosts\, a chapter of COSTRA\, the event brings together nominees\, hosts\, property managers\, and the companies that support short-term rentals across Colorado. It is a chance to recognize good work in public\, meet the people behind other successful stays\, and spend an evening with people who understand what hospitality takes. \nFood and two drink tickets are included with every ticket. The event uses a drop-in format from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. Arriving early gives attendees the best chance to see every nominee recognized. \nWho Should Attend\n\nWorkers nominated directly and individuals selected through company referrals\nHosts and property managers who want to support the people behind their stays\nColorado hospitality service companies and professionals\nCOSTRA members\nAnyone who wants to be part of a more connected short-term-rental community\n\nNominate Someone\nAnyone may submit a nomination.
