“Hospitality has changed forever. Either you catch up now or risk being left behind.”
These are the words of Matt Welle, Mews CEO. If they scare you a little, that’s okay. Change can be scary. But it’s also a rallying call to hoteliers across the world that’s it’s more than possible to adapt and to flourish – and the first step is signing up to Mews Unfold 2021.
Unfold 2021 is an online event that features six sessions across two afternoons on the 1st and 2nd of December. Themed around Rethinking an Industry, more than 20 speakers from across hospitality will share their expertise and predictions, inspiring hoteliers like you to make the most of your property’s potential.
