About

For more than 26 years, Jim Burba and Bob Hayes have been partners in life and business. Their book, Smart Partners (2016, SelectBooks, NYC), available in bookstores and on Amazon, explores their principles for partnership success.

Co-founders of Burba Hotel Network and Burba Hayes LLC, this couple has formed a power partnership that produces conferences for the hotel investment community, feature films, and Broadway musicals. Since 2000, their conferences have attracted more than 90,000 international delegates in 22 countries.

For three years running, Burba and Hayes have been named by Out Magazine as one of the “Power Couples to Know,” with such luminaries and their life partners as clothing designer Tom Ford, singer Sir Elton John, and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
