The scheduled date for the second installment is May 12th.
Hospitality Tomorrow was launched to support the hard-hit international hospitality community during Covid-19, by offering a virtual conference platform that provides knowledge, facilitates information sharing and connects the industry. It is powered by Bench Digital.
Jonathan Worsley, chairman of Bench Events, said that their goal for the last 25 years has been to bring the hospitality industry together around the world to network and to showcase best practice and thought leadership.
He went on saying that Hospitality Tomorrow continues this journey and, as daunting as the challenge may seem, it is crucial that they rebuild confidence in the global community.
It is time to make critical connections to build relationships, unity and actionable ways to support one another for a stronger response – as one industry, one community for one tomorrow.
The interactive programme will follow the sun around the globe and is split into a focus on five key markets spanning the planet. It will start at 06:00 GMT with a session on China and ending at 16:00 GMT with a focus on North America.
Anita Mendiratta, special advisor to the secretary general of UNWTO, will be co-hosting the event with Jonathan Worsley.
She said that Covid-19 has connected the world through crisis and as discovered with Hospitality Tomorrow’s first edition, leaders are determined to stand together – across the globe and value chain – to ensure rigorous examination of the challenges ahead so they are all ready to mobilise smart, sustainable solutions once their doors, borders and skies re-open.
HARDTalk presenter Stephan Sackur will be moderating several sessions of the programme that will, among others, cover key topics including the influence of technology on the world during and post Covid-19, trends and reinventions that are set to transform the industry, the future in art and culture, as well as sustainability, hospitality investment and asset management in the new normal.
