Over two days the world's renowned brands and key players in the hospitality industry explored the daunting challenges facing the hotels in an era of a revolutionary technolgical development and the sharing economy mercilessly disrupting traditional business models.

Over 60 conference participants looked at the industry with fresh lenses and discussed the issues that will shape its future while shared best strategies catering to the growing needs of tech and social-savvy millennial travelers and tourists.
The lineup of top-notch speakers made original and thought-provoking presentations covering all important aspects in hotels' day-to-day operations.
Key Takeaways of this premier event were:
• Forecasting future trends in the hospitality industry
• Unlocking the untapped opportunity of digitization as a major driver for innovation
• Learning how to implement productive HR strategy as a crucial competitive advantage
• Exploring new marketing and social media tools attracting millennial travelers
