HospitalityInside Think Tank on June 17-18, 2024 in Amsterdam, Netherlands

The HospitalityInside Think Tank (HITT) is an unconventional event format launched in 2018 on a solar-powered ship in Berlin to seek new ideas and solutions for an industry in transition and to help shape the future of hospitality. Due to the international focus all contributions and discussions are held in English. 

The setting is casual: "Come as you feel most comfortable."

Meet high-calibre experts from inside and outside the industry.

Enjoy a lot of time to talk as the number of participants is limited.

Get inspiring deep thoughts instead of shallow PR talk.

Use the opportunity for a personal, direct, interactive communication.

A place to share knowledge, exchange ideas and develop solutions for the industry’s most pressing issues: digitalisation, sustainability and human resources.

Executives and experts from hotel operation, hotel real estate, finance, sustainability, digital transformation, legal and HR are most welcome.

After six successful years in Berlin and Munich, the Think Tank 2024 will take place in Amsterdam for the first time. Two days at inspiring locations on land and on the water offer participants plenty of time and space for discussions with international experts and colleagues. 

Let’s take this journey to find answers together!

DAY 1 Topics

Rethinking Growth in the Face of Over-Tourism in Amsterdam. Through this session, we spotlight Amsterdam's struggles with over-tourism and the ensuing consequences on hotel investments. It's time for creative solutions to navigate this challenge. It’s also time to rethink, reframe, and reformulate our sustainability road map in tourism.

Do you speak Sustainability? The industry needs a common language. The EU Green Claims Directive is changing the name of the game.

Unifying Sustainability Approaches? Aligning Investor and Operator Objectives for Mutual Sustainability Benefits. This session takes a deep dive into the often-contrary perspectives of investors and operators within the hotel industry when it comes down to sustainability actions. Our goal is to find a path towards alignment of interests, particularly in terms of sustainable business practices with mutual benefit and growth.

Preserving & Improving Assets: Mastering Risk Assessment, Building Resilience and Arranging Contracts. The impact of Management, Lease, Franchise and Third Parties.

Mission Net-Zero: Tools and Tactics to Endorse Sustainable Building. Lots of talks about Net Zero, but we need to walk! This session explores the pathway to achieving net-zero carbon emissions. We will examine sustainable strategies across construction and renovation processes, focusing on projects that stand as benchmarks of a net zero, fully circular, and possibly regenerative life cycle.

 

DAY 2 Topics 

NEOM – How Saudi Arabia embraces technology and innovation

Tech Trends, A potpourri of the latest technology trends including Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality, Automatisation, Hyper-Personalisation, Digital Integration, etc and Best Practice – e.g. revolutionising the guest experience and reshaping employee engagement?

Numbers Don't Lie: Ensuring Credible KPIs & Right Tech Solutions for Hotel Operations and Investments. From verifying hotel KPIs to selecting the right technology for ESG reporting, it is time to get insights moving forward while also navigating the complexities of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Expect an enlightening overview suitable for both hotel operators and investors.


PLEASE NOTE: For the Innovation and Future focus, the program is in progress. The selection of topics is created in co-operation with Hotelschool The Hague. The day ends with the topic of Data - as a bracket over the topics of the two HITT days.
