Dedicated to supporting the needs of the modern hotelier, we delivered aspirational seminars and workshops for your hotel business at the Hotel Innovation Stage, in partnership with HotelPartner, and Hotel Business Stage, in partnership with RoomRaccoon and designed by Riviera Maison.
On the brand-new Hotel Business Stage, you’ll find presentations and panel discussions outlining business-led solutions to grow and develop your hotel offering. The Hotel Innovation Stage is where experts and innovators will discuss and showcase the latest trends set to impact the hotel sector through TEDx style sessions.
To help us develop our digital year-round offering we filmed all our live seminar sessions at IHS to make the programme accessible for our wider hotelier community. So, whether you attended the show this year or not you can access all sessions by simply clicking on each session title below to view the seminar on-demand.
