UK: Corporate accommodation platform AltoVita will host its annual Altos event at Ham Yard Hotel in London on 2 December.
The event, supported by Serviced Apartment News, will explore hospitality trends across the Middle East as well as the importance of traveller safety and security. Represented brands include Rotana, NBC Universal, The Ascott Limited, Breezeway and more.
Based on feedback from AltoVita’s Smart, Safe and Sustainable Summit earlier this summer, The Altos will also feature product demos of the latest features within the AltoVita platform.
Joy Abi-Aad, marketing director for AltoVita, said: “Following our very first Altos in 2020 (which was online during the pandemic), it’s been fantastic to see this event go from strength to strength. Seeing the industry connect, collaborate and most importantly celebrate so many achievements at The Cheesegrater in London last year, it’s clear that The Altos has come a long way.”
Danni Prior, head of hospitality growth operations at AltoVita, added: “On December 2, we’re looking forward to celebrating achievements across the corporate accommodation sector over the last 12 months. We’re grateful to have the opportunity to showcase all the hard work and innovation made by both emerging and existing players within the short-term and extended stay rental market. And I’m particularly excited about seeing all the entries for our popular Rising Star awards category, which helps the industry discover the change-makers of tomorrow.”
