So far, over 50 speakers from around the industry have confirmed, with more to be announced before the event starts. The event itself is it expecting attendance to be over 350.

Marius Gomola, Managing Director of Horwath HTL, Hungary and the conference organiser, said, “We are so excited to welcome our friends and colleagues back to Budapest after two difficult years, and there is so much to do discuss. Whereas there are inevitable headwinds that need to be faced, it is clear that there is a real feeling of positivity around the industry with indications that traveller numbers are fast approaching 2019 numbers. We need to harness that energy positively, promote our industry and get back to it.”

James Chappell, Global Business Director of Horwath HTL, said, “This event has become key for anyone interested in doing business in the CEE countries, and there is a tremendous amount of positive sentiment for the future prospects of this region. Hotels and hospitality are still a very attractive asset class, and investors know there are real possibilities here compared to mature Western markets. Personally, I cannot wait to see old friends and colleagues and get back to it.”
