His research and teaching focus on the effect of digital on business\, and his work has been published in leading journals such as Harvard Business Review\, Journal of Marketing\, Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services\, Tourism Management\, Cornell Quarterly\, and the International Journal of Hospitality Management. Before joining UniSA\, Peter founded the Chair in Digital Disruption at ESSEC Business School in France\, where he also held a variety of academic roles.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_circle_image src=”https://hsmai.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2025/09/dr.-peter-o-connor.jpeg” image_diameter=”250″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1758139433999{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nEmbrace AI\, Secure Success: A Hotel Distribution Playbook for the Next Decade\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1760976035365{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The hotel industry stands on the brink of its next great transformation — an AI-driven revolution that is reshaping how guests search\, book\, and experience travel. Just as OTAs transformed distribution two decades ago\, AI is now redefining visibility\, personalization\, and competitive advantage. \nA new reality is emerging\, with AI-powered search\, personalised recommendations\, and agentic assistants rewiring the customer journey. Guests increasingly expect tailored\, real-time solutions — unique itineraries\, curated dining tips\, and frictionless booking — delivered instantly\, automatically\, and often before they even ask. \nForward-thinking hotels are already experimenting. From personalised guest itineraries generated overnight\, to AI-driven revenue and reputation management\, early adopters are proving that when data meets intelligence\, service becomes unforgettable. \nSuccess in the coming decade will require three things: integrated data systems\, empowered teams trained in AI\, and a willingness to disrupt before being disrupted. \nAI is not a threat — it is the defining force of the next decade. The future of travel belongs to those who embrace it boldly\, creatively\, and fearlessly.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][mk_divider style=”thin_solid”][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1761748025036{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]We are also delighted to welcome Juanjo Rodriguez\, the Founder of The Hotels Network\, a technology company helping hotel brands worldwide grow their direct bookings. Building on his background as Founder of Duplex\, a leading marketing agency in Spain\, Juanjo combines decades of digital marketing experience with a deep understanding of AI and predictive personalization in hospitality. Passionate about innovation\, he is a regular speaker at industry events and educational institutions\, where he helps hoteliers understand how new technologies are reshaping the guest experience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_circle_image src=”https://hsmai.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2025/09/juanjo-rodriguez.jpg” image_diameter=”250″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1760976379707{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nThe IPhone Moment for AI – And What it means for Hotels\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1760976648451{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nOpenAI’s recent announcement marks a turning point for travel — the launch of apps within ChatGPT is set to reshape how guests search and book hotels. With Booking.com and Expedia among the first to go live\, this is the moment hoteliers must act to ensure they’re visible and bookable directly in AI-powered channels. Hotels need to start preparing now to navigate this shift — or risk being left behind as AI redefines distribution. \nAfter Peter’s and Juanjo’s presentations there will be roundtable discussions on selected topics.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thin_solid”][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1760975869564{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nAbout the Curate\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1760977402421{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The Curate is an exclusive benefit offered to Organizational Member companies of HSMAI Europe\, which is By-Invitation-Only. The Curate events are held twice a year to help executives keep up with the rapid changes in the hospitality industry. Designed to identify\, capture\, and shape executive-level content\, providing an opportunity for executives across different companies to discuss cross-disciplinary issues across the fields of culture & people\, sales\, marketing\, distribution\, revenue management\, and innovation. This edition of the Curate will be a condensed but high-impact version lasting only 2 hours followed by networking.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1760976720172{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The day will be moderated by Michael Nowlis\, Programme director\, MBA Programmes at Imperial College Business School and chair of HSMAI Europe Board of Directors[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_padding_divider][mk_circle_image src=”https://hsmai.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2022/10/michael-nowlis.jpeg” image_diameter=”250″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE” color=”violet” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Feur.cvent.me%2FMQmBZw|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_circle_image src=”https://hsmai.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2025/05/kevin-passon.jpeg” image_diameter=”150″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1747302182789{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nKevin Passon\nKey Account Director\nIHG Hotels & Resorts \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_circle_image src=”https://hsmai.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2025/05/scarlet-payne.jpeg” image_diameter=”150″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1747302401173{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nScarlet Payne\nPR & Content Specialist EMEA\nWyndham Hotels & Resorts EMEA \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_circle_image src=”https://hsmai.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2025/05/angel.jpeg” image_diameter=”150″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1747302495423{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nAngel Shtrbevski\nGeneral Manager Moxy Southampton\nHotel Co 51 \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” thickness=”3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1729160755651{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]For questions\, contact us at postbox@hsmai.eu[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row]
