A new format from the Future of Hospitality
The Future Panel
The Future Panel is fifty people from hospitality, from the general manager to the front desk, answering one question a month about where hotels are going. You tap an answer and explain why in two minutes on your phone. We turn it into a subtitled clip and publish what the panel thinks.
How it works
One question, first Tuesday of the month
It arrives by email or WhatsApp, with one link. No call to plan, no studio.
Tap your answer, then say why
Pick an option, then record up to two minutes with your phone upright. Ten minutes a month in total.
Your clip within 48 hours
We cut it and add subtitles, ready for you to share.
The result goes live
In week four the question page goes live with the answers by role, your clip goes on LinkedIn with you tagged, and the result goes out in our Tuesday Briefing.
The first question
Will a guest still check in with a human in 2028?
- Yes, always
- Only in luxury
- No, the phone does it
It belongs to trend 3 of our hotel trends for 2027: human service becomes the luxury. Read the trend
Who is on it
Management and the floor, side by side
The story is in the difference: what the boardroom expects next to what the front desk sees every day. So the panel mixes both, with everyone's role next to their answer.
