Let's face it: we all love learning new things. 

But most of all, we love to be inspired by learnings from other industries. And why not? Why shouldn't learnings from other industries be possible in the hospitality industry, in a modified form?  

Marion from Student Hotel Berlin was asked a lot of expert questions about all things digitization in the hospitality industry and, of course, answered them.  

How important is it to improve the digital visibility of a hotel, how can we make the best of existing, physical features?  

And of course, when we have a hotelier sitting next to Daniel, we don't just ask what's possible, we ask most importantly: what have you already implemented and how has it changed the concept and guest experience of The Student Hotel?

Whew. 30 minutes of hoteliers talking about the perfect tech stack.

Well... not about "the perfect tech stack", but about how hoteliers choose THEIR perfect tech stack. 

Verena, Celine, Tobias and Julius give us valuable tips on how to choose your perfect tech stack and how to use it effectively. 

Since this topic is always a topic of interest, we might consider to discuss this at LocoCoCo starting September 15th in Berlin?

What do you think of when you hear the word "investment"?

We all had a similar, yet somehow different idea in our heads. So we invited Julius Anders to join our podcast and talk about just that. 

Julius reveals what he has planned with his current 45 million euro investment with numa, what opportunities, possibilities and what risks there are for hoteliers in the current times.

The episode has so much input that it doesn't even fit into this caption! So... go right ahead and tune in!

Previous episode the city hotel of the future, now the meeting room of the future.

Coincidence? We'll never know...

Today's episode is not only for our MICE-nerds out there, but for everyone who is even slightly involved with having meeting as their daily business.

Fun fact: There are a lot of them. ;)

Live from our CoCoCoCo in Cologne, our hospitality tech experts get together and talk about the increasing demand for new types of meeting rooms as a workspace or for events. They discuss the main challenges that come with this demand and how companies cope with it and come up with new solutions that are here to stay.

Future, here we come!

Dear Anna, Sabine, Linda, and Wilko, have fun with our host Daniel on our CoCoCoCo Main Stage, powered by Duetto!

The city hotel of the future. Uff. Wow.

Honestly... 2022 sounded at least as crazy in the 90s as "the city hotel of the future" does today. Or is it just us?

Pretty sure we’re not alone with this thought. That's why we have three top-notch experts from our industry sitting here alongside our awesome host Alex to discuss this exact topic. Hoteliers and tech providers talk about challenges of new ways of working and the resulting decline in business travel.

Felizitas, Neha, Philip, we’re really excited to hear your proposed solutions for the City Hotel of the Future.

In one of our previous Hotelcast episodes, we already looked at, how technology can help, close the talent gap in our industry.

But shouldn't we look beyond this, and analyze how companies in other industries attract and keep the most talented people?

How do modern hospitality organizations approach this issue, how can we find new talents, even without a background in hospitality, and how can we motivate people to become and stay part of our industry?

This panel will discuss approaches, incentives, modern on-the-job and health care training for our most valuable asset in the industry, our employees.

Our amazing host Liza digs into all these questions and leads an exciting Panel together with our experts Svenja, Alexandra, Daniel, Dorian and Philip.

Guys, we hope you enjoy this panel of our CoCoCoCo Main Stage, powered by Duetto. Have fun!

Would the world be a better place if there were more women in leadership positions?

Since the greater part of people working within the hospitality industry are women, they feel quite underrepresented not only on the conference stages, but also in leadership positions.   

This panel will discuss strategies to overcome this inequality and help position all those women who are not only talented, but also skilled and experienced.   

We can't emphasize enough the importance of this topic and invited some of the most influential and talented women in the industry to our CoCoCoCo Main Stage, to speak out and raise their voices.  

Ladies, now have fun on our Main Stage, powered by Duetto!
