The stories behind the scenes

The hospitality family filled the "FreiSchwimmer Bar" on Expo Real Monday. 130 guests had made their way up to the terrace of the Cocoon Hotel, with views over the rooftops of Munich. Fun moments and thought-provoking conversations at BRICKS & BRAINS… The "Pool Party" was a success – so, looking back, a heartfelt thank you to the four sponsors of this event.

Final push ahead of Expo Real

The suitcases are almost packed, the final appointments have been confirmed. Now it’s all about meetings, deals and networking at Expo Real 2026. At World of Hospitality, you’ll meet an appealing mix of established market players, long-standing partners and new faces.

Update: Networking at the FreiSchwimmer Bar!

For the 18th time, the motto is "Hospitality meets Real Estate". BRICKS & BRAINS looks forward to welcoming its guests after the first day of the Expo Real trade fair, high above the roofs of Munich – at the Cocoon Hotel Am Sendlinger Tor. Two more sponsors – 9dots and Häfele – are joining in. They're all keen to get stuck in on the rooftop!

Expo Real Hotel Conference: The market in turmoil

The market is in turmoil; insolvencies and scandals have dominated the first half of the year, particularly in Germany. This will be the focus of the next Hospitality Industry Dialogue (HID) at Expo Real on 5 October. All conference panels will centre on the consequences and lessons learnt. In addition, new international operators will be introducing themselves.
