EquipHotel is therefore giving a voice to people who understand Hospitality with a capital “H”, and all the ways to receive guests and customers in 2024. This also includes teamwork, pooling skills and embracing diversity. In the same spirit, we’re breaking down borders, with international programming featuring inspiring Design Talks inspired by the London scene.
Conferences
In preparing this edition of EquipHotel, we’ve worked with two objectives in mind. The first is to give people the right keys to successfully grow their tourist establishment, both strategically and economically.
The second is to bring together everyone involved in hospitality, beyond the hotel and restaurant sectors, so that together, we can achieve more, faster.
New in 2024: International Day
As part of the wider programme, EquipHotel will launch its first International Day on Tuesday 5th November, which includes a series of panel discussions in English across the Design and Foodservice stages. With a programme dedicated to addressing current trends and challenges, internationally renowned designers will discuss with leaders from the foodservice, wellness and tech industries to define the future of hospitality.
