The 1st Premium Hotel Owners Conference | The Out-of-the-Box Edition debuts as part of the 100% Hotel Show on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25, 2026, establishing a new conference and strategic pillar for the Greek premium hospitality market.
This is a two-day upmarket conference, designed exclusively for Hotel Owners, Villa Complex Developers, Investors, and Decision-Makers seeking genuine new trends, investment opportunities, and the market's next business models.
The inaugural edition focuses on 'Luxury Out of the Box', examining two of the most critical pillars of modern premium hospitality: Luxury Hotels and Upscale Villas.
Across two distinct yet strategically interconnected days, the conference analyzes how luxury hospitality evolves beyond established standards, and how hotels and villas can create more profitable, differentiated, and commercially powerful hospitality models.
The Out-of-the-Box Edition
In an era of rapid changes, hospitality professionals visiting an exhibition have no time for generic theories, academic information, or the static repetition of well-known ideas. They arrive with specific needs for answers to the pressing challenges they face regarding Sales, Operations, Design, and Costs, seeking direct guidance and immediately actionable operational solutions.
The Out-of-the-Box Edition redefines the concept of luxury in both hotels and villas. It challenges Old Luxury, questions established development and operational models, and brings next-generation solutions to the forefront for two distinct yet directly comparable hospitality products.
The conference moves away from the outdated and fragmented workshops of the past, introducing a compact, symmetrical structure. Through real-world data, disruptive debates, operational insights, and targeted networking activities with Experts, attendees will have the opportunity to directly compare the strategies of Luxury Hotels and Upscale Villas.
The shared goal is to reduce investment risk, unlock access to new upmarket markets, and develop hospitality concepts that ensure measurable and sustainable ROI.
