“Staying in touch with the industry is extremely important right now. Especially the intensive exchange on experiences with digital concepts will also help the participants of the HITT Think Tank 2021 to avoid their own mistakes. An effective and important event – especially for a brand like Premier Inn, which continues to see good opportunities in the German hotel market and is expanding further.”

“The HospitalityInside Think Tank has been an extremely exciting event for Accor from the very beginning, and in 2020 we were once again pleased to be a sponsor. We appreciate the high quality of the network and see the HITT as an ideal platform for qualitative exchange with colleagues from the industry. The burning issues and challenges of the future are addressed; last year, for example, the focus was once again on digitalisation – a topic whose relevance is greater than ever.”

“The world is digital and HospitalityInside is in the heart of it! The virtual HITT 2020 not only suits the times, it also gives confidence. Confidence that even in digital times, exchange is not neglected, that you can also reach partners, colleagues and not least guests emotionally, pick them up and inspire them. The HITT – for me it is always a great pleasure to participate!”

“The Think Tank 2020 has created many qualified contributions that provide an overview to the industry, especially in difficult times. Orientation through high-quality information is created by HospitalityInside not only through the weekly reporting – the HITT format also provides exceptional contributions for the hotel industry.”

“My participation in the HITT Think Tank in 2020 was extremely helpful. We were at the very beginning of the pandemic. The speakers provided valuable insights. This helped us to better assess the situation, if that was possible. Furthermore, I liked the content and the possibility of networking (afterwards). A very successful event in a time of radical change. Rethinking the hotel industry – this is what HITT does excellently!”

“My full respect for the conversion of this in the past completely analogue event into a new digital one! Certainly, compromises had to be made in terms of direct exchange with other participants, but the selection of topics and speakers was excellent and the view beyond the horizon to other industries was very inspiring. And the professional preparation and follow-up also helped to leave a lasting impression.”

“The HITT Think Tank thrives on dialogue. In the past, this was ideally practised at the boat trip through the combination of exciting impulse lectures and intensive discussion rounds. That is why I found the online version of the HITT Tank 2020 to be the ideal platform for keeping a finger on the pulse of developments. However, such formats can only replace personal encounters and the power of direct dialogue to a limited extent. This also confirms the central role of hotels as real meeting spaces. I am therefore looking forward to the next HITT boat trip.”

“The HITT has always been a very good event to get information on the latest technical developments focused on hospitality. It is always interesting to think outside the box and see what other hotel groups are working on. In addition, the exchange among like-minded is good, among other things, to be able to discuss hurdles in the field of digitalisation.”

“The reality check did us all a lot of good and forced us to see that other sectors are facing much greater challenges. We have “the final mile”, i.e. in the end, we still have the guests in our hotels and can use this to our advantage!”

“The speakers and presentation at HITT were at a very high level, inspiring discussions among hospitality professionals and giving food for thought for our everyday challenges. However, for me the most important learning was how essential it is to take some time to sit, exchange, network and create a platform. We are already looking forward to meeting with the HITT participants again and to continue being part of this special hospitality community.”

“The HITT, Edition 2 was yet another step-up from the first version in 2018. The Hotel-Tech world has a love-hate relationship, and the legacy system landscape has still many hurdles to take without aligned industry standards. The input of ‘out-of-the-box’ speakers created an environment of active and open interaction. The 2020 HITT will be enriched with hotel asset owners and investors as well. Great prospects for deepened exchange.”

“2. HITT – next level. Very fruitful collaboration and helpful discussion with senior executive colleagues regarding a topic, all of us are putting a lot of efforts in. Let‘s face the challenge together. Very much looking forward to our upcoming workshops and next year’s meeting.”

“Not bullshit bingo, but a deep, forward-looking exchange of ideas.”

-2019-

“The Think Tank stimulated me to open up to the discussed topics and to leave my personal comfort zone several times in the discussion, in an environment with like-minded, creative industry colleagues and carefully guided by competent moderators. The Think Tank has given me a valuable new perspective, something that inspires me in my daily routine.”

“For those who want to know which conference could be a useful investment of time: for me, the HITT is definitely one of them. Important topics; presentations with new contents worth knowing; panel discussions on a high contextual level; and a conference location and setting, which is an experience in itself and offers good opportunities for establishing new contacts.”

“High-class speakers, important topics, selected guests at a very special extraordinary location – a unique event in our industry!”
