Skift’s Future of Lodging Forum is coming to London on March 29, and during this event, we will once again push the boundaries in exploring the future of hotels, the ways guest experience and expectations are shifting, the beginnings of a new era for technology and personalization, and how brands are evolving to differentiate in today’s highly competitive market.
Here are just a few of the topics and leaders joining us onstage for deep-dives with Skift editors:
Mergers and acquisitions are always a hot topic in the industry, and this year could see some interesting moves ahead. We will hear from Ankur Randev, Principal and Chief Commercial Officer of Highgate, and Joe Pettigrew, Chief Commercial Officer – Hotel Asset Management of Starwood Capital Group, as we unpack some of the market signals, big bets, and future opportunities beyond eyed across hospitality.
As implementation of ESG initiatives becomes even more essential for hotels to address in the future, we will dive into the latest strategies, operational challenges, and paths to achieving sustainability at scale with Marloes Knippenberg, CEO of Kerten Hospitality, and Catherine Dolton, VP of Global Corporate Responsibility at IHG.
Hospitality, if anything, has no shortage of brands and segments: luxury to economy, global to regional, hard and soft brands, etc. Standing out to consumers is as critical as ever, and we’ll hear from executives of large hotel companies to discuss brands and their overall strategies for the future, including Jean-Jacques Morin, Group Deputy CEO, Group CFO and Premium, Midscale & Economy Division CEO of Accor, and Chris Silcock, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer at Hilton.
Beyond having a spa or unstaffed gym on property, many hotels are recognizing the renewed importance of wellness for consumers and also how it can drive revenue. We’ll hear from the founder and CEO of Pillar Well-Being, Harry Jameson, on how he is consulting with hotels globally to bring a more holistic and integrated approach to activating wellness on property. Separately, Tamara Lohan, the founder and CEO Mr & Mrs Smith will share perspectives on how hotels need to push boundaries to meet consumer demands going forward and why resetting through wellness has become an integral part of that equation for guests.

London is a vibrant, culturally diverse and perpetually evolving city made up of a series of interconnected, but independent, neighborhoods. In all, London is broken up into 32 boroughs that make up what is known as Greater London. Within those 32 boroughs there are roughly 48 neighborhoods as some straddle between two boroughs.
London has a reputation as one of the most eye-wateringly expensive cities to visit in Europe. Its fame and global appeal have long made it a top ‘bucket list’ destination, with jacked-up accommodation prices and exorbitantly priced experiences, from swanky fine dining to designer shopping.
London is a world unto itself and it's only natural that many travelers never look beyond the confines of the city limits.
Watching The Pillowmanat Duke of York’s Theatre in London last night was, hands down, the most intense live theater performance I’ve ever experienced. Part of it, I’m sure, was because my husband and I were sitting second row center and were so transported into the show, it was hard to remember it was, in fact, a show.
London is an expensive city to visit and one that’s large and sometimes difficult to navigate. But, it's also packed with fascinating historic sights, bags of culture, world-class museums, parks and wide-open spaces with excellent playgrounds, and plenty of things to occupy kids of all ages.
