Registration opens for Independent Hotel Show 2022
Visitor registration has opened for the Independent Hotel Show, the only industry event dedicated entirely to the needs of luxury and boutique hoteliers, which returns to Olympia London on 4-5 October 2022.
A carefully curated selection of over 250 innovative businesses representing the variety and diversity of the hotel sector – including transformational hospitality tech, high-end design & décor suppliers and unique in-room F&B solutions – will be on hand to discuss their latest products and services.
Glenn Wallace, Event Manager for the Independent Hotel Show, commented: “We’re so excited to be launching registration for the 10th edition of the Independent Hotel Show. Over the past decade the show has become a must-attend in the industry calendar and beloved by its community of hotel owners and managers.
“We’re so proud of the show’s commitment to the independent and boutique hotel community, which is at the centre of each session in seminar programme and each suppliers chosen to take part in the show, and we can’t wait to celebrate our 10th birthday in style on 4-5 October.”
Daniella Hope, Director at Lake District Hotels Ltd., commented: “As a small family-owned group of hotels in the Lake District we always make sure the Independent Hotel Show is in our calendar. It is one of the best places to hear about latest industry ideas, see new products and meet suppliers, and with it being so specific to the boutique hotel industry we find it invaluable. Most importantly we always take home an abundance of inspiration.”
A jam-packed seminar programme
Returning for this year’s event are the Innovation Stage, in partnership with eviivo, and the Hotel Vision Stage, in partnership with HotelPartner, both packed with talks, discussions and debates aimed squarely at the independent hotel sector.
In addition to discussions on how to tackle 2022’s supply chain and recruitment challenges, the seminar programme will provide insightful best practice sessions on topics such as social media marketing, gaining industry accolades and accreditation and expanding a hotel’s offering to drive additional revenue.
A major feature at this year’s event is The Inclusive Hotel Room, designed by Cocoon & Bauer, an immersive conceptual hotel room showcasing how thoughtful, intelligent design can prevent sensory overwhelm and create truly welcoming, inclusive and sustainable spaces.
