Back in 2018 we invited designer Nicholas Sunderland to conceptualise a 'Hotel Room of the Future' to showcase at this very event- and now, four years later, we have revisited this idea with a new design partner, Cocoon & Bauer. Join this panel as our designers reflect on our event's key theme: the sustainability of the industry and discuss where they see the future of conscious design going.

Chairperson:

• Hamish Kilburn, Editor - Hotel Designs

Speakers:

• Peter William Turner, Managing Director - Cocoon and Bauer Ltd

Design Insider lead this thought-provoking panel on what exactly the future traveller will want: do they long to completely relax, switch off from technology and focus on wellness? Or will they wish to be more connected than ever before, creating a hybrid work/living space fuelled by the latest tech? If there is space for both offerings, what does this future look like?

Chairperson:

• Alys Bryan, Editor - Design Insider

Speakers:

• Holly Hallam, Managing Director - Design LSM
• Nicholas Hickson, Founder - THDP

The original model of Asian hospitality is broken. The issues stemming from lack of training over the last 60 years, the emphasis on labour intensive working schedules and no new blood coming into the sector have created a black hole in the industry that is worth '4.5 billion. How can the industry transform itself and how can hospitality as a whole benefit from the latest example of digital restaurants that work in practice as well as theory? A careful balance between technology and staff and customer user experience is needed and during this session we will unpack those real world examples.

Speaker:

Rehan Uddin, Managing Director/Chef Patron - Asian Restaurant Owners Network
