Interactive Roundtables Discussions

Attendees can join 2x 30-minute discussions from a selection of topics led by industry experts.

1. Short-term Property Rentals Expansion: A Viable Option for Hoteliers?

From check-in to check-out, tech-savvy properties remove the staff from a seamless guest experience. Hear about learnings and successes from an entirely self-serving stay delivering personal touches and up-selling opportunities from afar

Ivana Tagliamonte, Co-Owner, Bellport Inn & Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker 

2. Experiential Hospitality for Hoteliers of the Future

Guests travel to have unforgettable in-destination experiences, and hoteliers who recognise this see stronger core revenues through higher-spending guests, longer stays and better reviews

3. Do Digital Experiences & AI Foster Loyalty Better than Human Interaction?

From booking to check-out, guests can now breeze through their hotel stay without ever saying “hello” to a single staff member. AI and automation are redefining convenience—but does that mean stronger guest loyalty or just faster service?
