The Master Innholders’ 22nd Annual Hotel General Managers’ Conference is expected to be another sell-out success as details of this year’s theme are announced. Taking place at London Hilton on Park Lane on 19th and 20th January 2015, a theme of ‘People & Places’ underpins a programme designed to provide hotel general managers with insight into what motivates customers in a globalised marketplace where increasing numbers of people are choosing to travel.
The conference will explore the increasing impact of technology on every aspect of our lives and look to discuss and advise on the opportunities and methods for motivating hotel teams to excel.
Amongst the impressive line-up of speakers at this year’s conference is Arthur de Haast, chairman Hotels & Hospitality Group at Jones Lang LaSalle, Mario Jobbe, COO of Circos Brand Karma, Rebecca Stephens, founder of Seven Summits Performance Ltd and Gavin Esler, chancellor of University of Kent.
Other familiar hospitality industry stalwarts sharing expertise include Sir David Michels, Ian Millar of Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, Julia Sibley MBE, chief executive of the Savoy Education Trust and Ufi Ibrahim, CEO of the British Hospitality Association.
Speaking of the launch of this year’s programme, Jonathan Raggett FIH MI, chairman of The Master Innholders, says: “This prestigious annual event is widely regarded as one of the most important forums for debating and forecasting the current and future hospitality industry trends, supporting professionals with strategic business planning. It is attended by renowned industry talents, leading hoteliers and innovative suppliers, creating an unrivalled opportunity to network and share expertise. The sessions are relevant to managers at all levels across the spectrum of the industry and the conference remains the only one of its type, inspired and delivered by general managers for general managers.”
