As the only conference specifically for the Swiss hotel investment market to date, it is a great pleasure for us to be involved as a sponsor, advisory board member, speaker and participant. I really appreciate the input from the speakers, the dialogue with industry insiders and the relaxed atmosphere of the event.

Most investors meetings are very impersonal, hosted in big rooms with too many people and no real discussion between the speaker and the attendees. That's why I enjoyed the SHIC meeting so much. An amazing meeting room on a lake with a crowd of very interesting people with whom I got to really share experiences. So thanks a lot and congratulations for hosting such a special event.

Exciting keynote speeches alternate with fascinating panel discussions. It's a wonderful gathering of new and as yet unknown people, like a large family reunion with lots to talk about. There's always something new to learn, so you always leave SHIC with new insights, contacts and ideas, and look forward to next year.

The SHIC is an excellent club that offers hoteliers — and those who aspire to become one — the opportunity to come together in an elegant setting. Valuable partnerships, and perhaps even friendships, are formed here — and that is truly something special. I am sincerely grateful to have been part of this experience.

At SHIC, all the key stakeholders come together who are needed to think through a hospitality concept from inspiration to implementation. Among a select group of decision-makers, the event offers an easygoing, relaxed, yet excellently organized setting. For me, the exchange is always incredibly inspiring, valuable, and truly enriching.
