New hotel sector conference launches in London in February   The Hotel Industry Development Event, which takes place in London on Tuesday 11th February 2025, brings together the full circle of actors involved in creating hotels.   Brands, operators, investors and owners, designers and architects, technology and data providers, distribution platforms, consultants, lawyers, accountants, recruiters, and other professionals involved in building the industry will participate.    “The hotel industry is built on a network of talents and expertise. Successful deal-making involves participation from across the spectrum of professionals,” says Andrew Sangster, founder of HIDE.   Patron-level sponsors at the launch are Hyatt Hotels Development EAME and Mews; other sponsors include Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Pandox, LyvInn Hotels, BVA BDRC, and STR. Media partners are Hotel Analyst, Sleeper Magazine and THP - TOPHOTELPROJECTS. More sponsors and speakers will be unveiled in the coming months.   “This is not an investment conference. But it will feature investors who are a critical part of the mandala that describes how our industry is created," says Sangster. “I do not want to create a conference that features professionals talking in their own silos. Bringing together discussions from across disciplines will illuminate opportunities that rarely see the light and certainly not the spotlight we will provide." Contact Sarah Sangster for more information.   Tickets can be purchased via the website. Investors can obtain half-price tickets, details on the website. www.hid-event.com #hoteldevelopment #hotelinvestment #hospitality #hoteldesign #hoteloperations #hoteltechnology

Our Editorial Director chats about the industrialisation of sleep on BBC Radio 5 this morning.

If you have 20 minutes or so, could you listen to the presentation I gave to a group of hoteliers earlier this week on the Buell Hospitality Insights Call? https://lnkd.in/e2FHnSgW I'm sorry for the lack of a slick presentation, but this is just a download of the Zoom call. It's the message I care about, and if you are involved in the hospitality sector, I think you will too. We have something to shout about in our sector! Hotel Analyst #hotelindustry #hotelinvestment
