The Hospitality Creator Summit has announced its foundational partners for the inaugural event, co-located with HITEC this June.
Joining Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals, the organization behind HITEC itself, as Foundational Partners are Margaritaville, My Place Hotels, Hireology, Alliants and PepperMill. These organizations include global brands and independent operators, technology platforms and experienced innovators, legacy names and disruptive newcomers.
In addition to industry partners, AARP has joined the growing list of HCS sponsors. AARP COO, CFO, and EVP Scott Frisch will speak at HCS to explore the longevity economy and what the spending power of travelers aged 50 and older means for the future of this industry.
“These are not companies chasing a trend,” Anthony Melchiorri, a partner of the Hospitality Creator Summit, said in a statement. “They are companies making a strategic bet that the way hospitality earns attention, loyalty, and trust has fundamentally changed. The Hospitality Creator Summit is ahead of the game, and we are grateful to the Foundational Partners and sponsors who are joining us from the start.”
HCS is a purpose-built gathering that will focus on the intersection of hospitality, storytelling and the creator economy. Taking place June 15 in San Antonio and co-located with HITEC, the programming includes speakers, creators, influencers and brand builders.
