Augsburg (April 24, 2020). Only the format changes, the content remains as demanding as it was discussed before the outbreak of the Corona crisis: The 3rd HospitalityInside Think Tank (HITT) will take place, but in digital form. The planned extension of the program to two days will be dropped, we will concentrate on Tuesday, June 23.

The topic "Boost Your Service Delivery. Bring Hotels to Life in a Digital World" will remain, just as all impulse generators and sponsors continue to fully support the event. Nobody wants to forego the continued exchange with colleagues and experts, because everybody knows and feels it himself: Corona will drive the topic of digitalisation faster than expected. And the digital world will thus also give the hotel industry more opportunities to distinguish itself and make more profit much more quickly. In this respect, the current crisis situation and our motto – already defined months ago – are playing into our hands.

Of course, a digital conference is no substitute for personal exchange and individual networking; the unique format on the seminar ship alone has ensured this in the past two years! In this respect, HospitalityInside as organizer tries hard not to let this "online day" slide into a monotonous webinar.

Details next week

We have been waiting for the decisions of the German government after Easter. The now estimable time horizons until the return to "normality" did not allow any other conclusion.

The technical partner for the first fully digital version of the think tank has been chosen, we are currently adjusting the program, the participation fee will decrease. Next week, the HITT website should also be updated and we can give you the details, including the names of the international guests who will steer the exchange of ideas.

The 3rd HITT would like to thank its sponsors already today, who did not withdraw their support despite the changeover to the digital format. A heartfelt thank you to
