Crafting Hospitality Events at ILC | I adore spontaneity, providing it is carefully planned.
A historically accurate conversation with Andrew, and it is *chef's kiss*. One of the best things about ILC, very much thanks to Andrew, is that you are encouraged to have an opinion, share your thoughts respectfully, and just be your honest self forgetfulness and all! (...although spoiler alert he did remember all of the dessert supplies). The vibe attracts the tribe and both are top tier at Independent Lodging Congress 💛 Come hang and listen to more hospitality insights in Puerto Rico! Early Bird pricing available until 11/30 ✨ https://lnkd.in/e5TiC5fn

Still riding that post-conference high after the Independent Lodging Congress in Miami! What a trip, to say the least. From Nicola Rossin on the zine cover, to the Tractorbeam ILC app in full swing, and a lineup of great conversations all around. We had a blast hosting our roundtable with friends from Duro Hospitality, Chas Martin reminded everyone why innovative design in F&B matters, and of course - the star of the show, Christopher M., leading the panel “Am I the Asshole?” (jury’s still out). ILC always delivers when it comes to connections, conversations, and karaoke - thank you Seven Seas! Can’t wait for the next one. Puerto Rico, get ready - we’re coming for you!

Still incredibly proud of our hardworking team after Miami 😎 Maison was named “Best New Tech Innovation of the Year” at the Independent Lodging Congress, which is a huge honor for us. Startups are not easy, and they are not for everyone. But success is sweet 🙏 A big thank you to The Modern Hotelier team – David, 🎙️Steve, and Jon – for the incredibly kind shout-out and for taking the time to chat about what we are building at Maison. The way you spotlight operators and innovators in hospitality really matters 👊 We are just getting started and I am excited for what comes next for Maison and for hotel tech more broadly. #StartupLife #HospitalityInnovation #HotelTech #TravelDistribution #AIinHospitality #AgenticAI
