On foot and food-print. And searching for clues at HITT.

Dear Insider,

In spirit, we are already present at HITT in Amsterdam and are looking forward to welcoming over 60 top-class think tank fans and experts from all over Europe - starting on Monday. The event is now being brought to life by the next generation: Two student teams, from Belgium and the UK, have recently fought their way through to the final in the current competition of the global Sustainable Hospitality Challenge 2024 and present their ideas to us. The initiator of all this is Hotelschool The Hague. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Think Tank partners, especially Paul Griep for the Next Gen touch and Prof. Alexander Schmidt for the great teamwork on the Innovation Theme Day.

Our thanks also go to our sponsors Accor, Arabella Hospitality, Wyndham, Drees & Sommer, Häfele, Expo Real, Proline Systems and The Hague. Six of them have built up the Think Tank with us since 2018. They are behind the concept, which openly and honestly discusses the challenges of sustainability and innovation in a small, exclusive circle, across borders and competition. It is no longer a matter of course that marketing budgets are allocated for quality. Thank you very much!

Dear Insider,

Only ten days left until HITT! We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam, where lively professors will present dynamic trends and best practices on innovations (Prof. David Abbink from TU Delft, Prof. Alexander Schmidt from The Hague). Sylvain Morgaine, a practitioner from the Accor Innovation Lab, and Mews CEO Matt Welle, a visionary from the tech world, will also be present. It’s a really exciting programme. Today, we introduce you to these guests.

My preliminary conversation with Matt Welle about the Think Tank ended with the former hotelier telling the Mews story: from near-bankruptcy to billion-dollar unicorn. This builds self-confidence, and today he is very sure that his software puts any legacy PMS into the shadows.
