I'm enthusiastic about organising this event in the presence of so many well-known and respected experts from our sector
– Vladi Kovanic
Industry figure Vladi Kovanic is gearing up to host the 14th installation of her annual industry event Forum HOTel&SPA, a high-quality conference featuring international meetings for the spa and hospitality industry.
The conference encourages delegates to discuss the future of spa, wellness and luxury and what growth opportunities each sector holds.
As in previous years, the 2022 event is scheduled for 2 June 2022 at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris.
Kovanic says she was inspired to launch the event to bring together industry suppliers and businesses in an opulent setting to provide the opportunity for discussions and knowledge-sharing sessions on the best present and future practices.
This year’s theme ‘Thinking outside the box’ has inspired an exciting agenda and speaker line-up including international specialists; Roger Allen, CEO Resources for Leisure Assets; Dr Franz Linser CEO of Linser Hospitality Austria; Cornelia Kausch, CEO of CK Collective & CK Hospitality; and Jean Luc Pleuvry, general manager Relais Thalassa France, as well as a panel of eminent journalists from the sector.
As in previous years, an event highlight will be the Black Diamond and Blue Diamond Awards ceremony to honour and celebrate a leading spa manager and talented figure in the thalassotherapy sector.
Established wellness companies such as Gharieni, Biologique Recherche, RKF, Johnson Matrix, Sommerhuber, Swiss-line, Lemi, Nilo, Chateau Berger and many others will also be in attendance.
Kovanic says: "I'm enthusiastic about organising this international event in the presence of so many well-known and respected experts from our sector.
“Professionals from around the world come back again and again for the mix of innovation, trend analysis, expertise and networking, and for the opportunities that fuel their business for the upcoming year and beyond."
Forum HOTel&SPA is partnered with the Medical Wellness Congress and World Spa Organization.
