Hospitality professionals talking during a roadshow aperitivo

Breaking
the comfort
zone.

Ideas, technology and people changing the way hospitality works. One city at a time.

A roadshow for those who'd rather talk about real problems over a drink than sit through yet another deck of slides.

Three cities behind us.
Three more ahead.

And the comfort zone further away every time.

01 / The format

We didn't want to run another conference.

Breaking the Comfort Zone started from a simple idea: put hoteliers, professionals and companies who work on different problems of the same property in the same room.

Distribution, revenue, marketing, technology, automation, management control. No silos. Because a hotel doesn't run in silos.

01

Conversation

Real problems, real experience and genuinely different points of view.

02

Tools

Technology and strategy seen in the way they actually work together.

03

Relationships

A drink, less formality and more time to really talk.

02 / Next stops

Where do we leave the comfort zone next?

Pick the city. We'll figure out the rest together, with no distance between stage and audience.
