After two years without an edition, Hotel Leaders Network (HLN) is back! This popular networking event for decision makers in the hotel industry will be held at the Beurs van Berlage on 2 September.
The HLN is the pre-eminent opportunity to build a casual network with colleagues in senior hotel management. There are also inspiring guest speakers, pitches by innovative start-ups and the famous Hotelrede.
This year's guest speakers focus on the challenges and opportunities of the hotel industry within the future of (business) travel. Speakers Odete Pimenta da Silva (managing director of the Dutch Association for Travel Management) and Bas Gerressen (director KLM Netherlands) will discuss the development in travel demand and how the past COVID period has influenced travel behaviour.
A new addition to the HLN programme is the Start-up Pitch. In collaboration with ABN AMRO, three start-ups - focused on the hotel industry - present themselves. For this first edition, it is the turn of:
Orbisk
A promising startup that offers a concrete solution against one of the biggest challenges worldwide - food waste.
Please Ask M
Provides a system that uses artificial intelligence to help process, centralise and automate business meeting, and hotel requests.
Solarix
Designs and supplies coloured solar panels that can be fully integrated into energy-generating facades. In doing so, they make energy generation an integral part of the (re)design strategy of buildings.
After the start-ups' presentations, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and the best pitch will be selected.
Fixed part of the Hotel Leaders Network programme is the Hotelrede, in which a well-known Dutchman shares his or her outsider's view of the hotel industry. Thus, the Hotelrede was delivered by Jort Kelder in 2018 and Jan Jaap van der Wal had the honour in 2019. This year, the Hotelrede will be recited by none other than comedian Martijn Koning.
As in previous years, Hotel Leaders Network will be held prior to an XL edition of the best-known Friday afternoon drink for hotel employees, the Hotelvrijmibo.
During an XL edition, things get just a little more out of the ordinary. Think big light shows and great entertainment, with main act: The Partysquad.
New this year is the addition of Hotelvrijmibo CONNECTS. This new concept bridges the gap between Hotel Leaders Network and the Hotelvrijmibo. Whereas HLN is intended only for decision makers, Hotelvrijmibo CONNECTS is aimed at all hotel employees.
Hotelvrijmibo CONNECTS offers an engaging programme in which speakers Michael Diederich (known from Boom Chicago) and psychologist Thijs Launchspach address topical issues in a surprising and playful way.
Michael Diederich will present some of his greatest hits, asking the audience to play games in which they will surprisingly fail - because they are used to doing things a certain way. The business way. But when using improvisation, suddenly everything starts to flow and becomes effective and efficient.
Psychologist Thijs Launchspach teaches you effective ways to deal with stress and shares his favourite tips and tricks on working from home and taking care of yourself in his lecture 'Work Life Balance'.
Hotel free mibo CONNECTS is the perfect opportunity to learn something new and have a laugh with your hotel colleagues.
All events are completely free to attend, upon approval of registration. For example, HLN is only open to hotel owners, hotel managers, general managers, CEOs, COOs and regional directors and, for the Hotelvrijmibo, it is verified that you are actually working in the hotel industry.
