Experience the Real Houston During XPONENTIAL 2025

Attending XPONENTIAL 2025 at the George R. Brown Convention Center from May 19-22, 2025? As the leading trade show for the autonomous and unmanned systems industry brings thousands of professionals to Houston, you’ll want accommodations that offer more than just a place to sleep.

While downtown conference hotels put you near the XPO Hall, they often isolate you from experiencing the authentic energy of Houston. Why limit yourself to a cookie-cutter hotel experience when you could immerse yourself in one of Houston’s most vibrant neighborhoods?

Lodgeur’s Mid Main Lofts in Midtown Houston offers the perfect blend of convenience and local culture, allowing you to experience the real Houston while attending XPONENTIAL. And you don’t need to book months in advance to secure your spot in this sought-after neighborhood.
