hospitality leadership conference

In 2021, Detlef Schmidt started conversations with extraordinary hospitality leaders about how they shaped their businesses during pandemic times. Some of these conversations were published in an interview format, called “one-on-one with the hospitality leader". These interviews were shared successfully through social media and can be found in the journal section. As the format progressed, the need for a regular exchange among hospitality leaders to discuss the most pressing problems became obvious. The idea of a leadership conference format was born, with the following positioning:

- executive hospitality management
- property owners
- private equity executives
