March is a big month for hospitality and property, with MIPIM in early March and IHIF kicking off on the 31st. While our next Festival of Hospitality event – Next Gen Easter Social in collaboration with NGN Hospitality – is set for 9th April, you’ll still find us in the hospitality zone at MIPIM, and we’ll be in Berlin during IHIF. If you’re attending either, we’d love to meet up. Email us: hello@festivalofhospitality.live #FestivalofHospitality #MIPIM #MIPIM2025 #IHIF #IHIFEMEA #HospitalityIndustry #Networking

How do you deliver a successful hospitality project that provides value for all during the project life cycle? Yesterday at our Devil’s Advocate event, we had a brilliant discussion about just that. One word to sum it all up? “Upfront”: - Getting all the right people - architects, engineers, contractors and specialists - involved right from the start saves costs and avoids pain further down the line. - Build extra time into the start of a programme to conduct thorough due diligence and again at the design development stage to save time later on in the development. - Identifying risks upfront and being clear about who has responsibility over what elements of the project is so important. - Strong team relationships matter from the start. This will enable more honest conversations when challenges arise. A huge thank you to our speakers and everyone who joined us to contribute to such an insightful discussion! We’ll be sharing a full write up in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime we’ve got some great photos from the morning: https://lnkd.in/eJ9QcfKN Credit: Event Video Specialists📸 What stuck with you most from the conversation?

Just one week to go until we ask the tough questions: - What measures are needed to ensure the hospitality development market remains sustainable and beneficial for all stakeholders? - Are there opportunities for improvement across the front-end stages of the development or project lifecycle? - What can we do to facilitate a smooth construction phase? - Where does accountability truly lie? Or is it the responsibility of all to take ownership of a project?
