This year, the Midis team ventured into the heart of Latgale for a day filled with adventure, camaraderie, and growth. 📍 Ludza: Our day began with thrilling orienteering activities, pushing us to navigate and collaborate effectively. It was a fantastic way to build our teamwork and problem-solving skills right from the start. 🎯 Cibla: The excitement continued with paintball and mini-golf. These activities not only brought out our competitive spirit but also reinforced the importance of strategic thinking and coordination.

Just returned from representing Mews at my third BITAC Events conference. Here are a few key takeaways: 1. Independent hospitality brands like Retro Hospitality, The Neighborhood Hotel®, and New Waterloo are expanding in ways that state clearly: we know what we do differently, and we're unapologetically bringing that wherever we grow. (Shoutout to Curator Hotel and Resort Collection for fueling them!) 2. Community investment + conferences = chef's kiss. BITAC set up this event to benefit Farm Share, and it kept everyone grounded in what matters amongst the business happenings. 3. Staffing & training are still top of mind challenges for the industry, but we're starting to see creative solutions. University partnerships, tech stack overhauls, doubling down on purpose-driven careers...gets me excited for 2034. To those I met: thanks for the laughs, mind-expanding stories, and new perspectives. To those I reconnected with: you'll always be what I'm most excited for on my trips to these events. Doing business as a community is a joy. #bitac #hospitalitytech #independenthotels
