Let's face it: we all love learning new things.  But most of all, we love to be inspired by learnings from other industries. And why not?

In one of our previous Hotelcast episodes, we already looked at, how technology can help, close the talent gap in our industry. But shouldn't we look beyond this, and analyze how companies in other industries attract and keep the most talented people? How do modern hospitality organizations approach this issue, how can we find new talents, even without a background in hospitality, and how can we motivate people to become and stay part of our industry? This panel will discuss approaches, incentives, modern on-the-job and health care training for our most valuable asset in the industry, our employees. Our amazing host Liza digs into all these questions and leads an exciting Panel together with our experts Svenja, Alexandra, Daniel, Dorian and Philip. Guys, we hope you enjoy this panel of our CoCoCoCo Main Stage, powered by Duetto. Have fun!

Would the world be a better place if there were more women in leadership positions? Since the greater part of people working within the hospitality industry are women, they feel quite underrepresented not only on the conference stages, but also in leadership positions.    This panel will discuss strategies to overcome this inequality and help position all those women who are not only talented, but also skilled and experienced.    We can't emphasize enough the importance of this topic and invited some of the most influential and talented women in the industry to our CoCoCoCo Main Stage, to speak out and raise their voices.   Ladies, now have fun on our Main Stage, powered by Duetto!
