A joint expedition by EquipHotel and MKG Consulting

From 3 to 7 November, to help you find new ways to manage your business.

«Towards a new economic dynamic for hospitality»

Hotel and restaurant professionals face new challenges in maintaining profitability, providing quality service and responding to customer demands: a transformation phase that requires adaptation and imagination.

EquipHotel Braintrusts*: Dare to innovate and pool skills 

*The Braintrust is the name of the group of experts who advised U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the New Deal.

EquipHotel and MKG Consulting have invited hotel entrepreneurs and trade show partners to exchange and share ideas and feedback in a series of 4 workshops on the theme of “Time to Dare!”:

  • Tech & Services: “Is the advent of AI a source of productivity gains in day-to-day management?”
  • Design & Layout: “How to make design the key to customer experience”
  • Wellness: “Can quality and profitability be reconciled?” 
  •  Foodservice: “How has F&B succeeded in shifting into “eatertainment” and a profitable business?”
