It’s oftentimes colported that there’s magic in every beginning. Looking back on the kick-off of hotelcampus on ITB 2023, we can confirm, that this is true.
Do you still remember your first day at campus?
Can you still remember the smell of the classrooms? How excited you were, entering the huge lecture halls for the first time? How a new chapter in your life just opened up in front of you?
Does this sound a bit pathetic? Maybe, but not too much, though. It actually comes pretty close to how we also felt facing our first hotelcampus at the ITB!
Back then, we already found out about how learning is not as much for the lone fighters as it is for teams: It’s always been the discussions that sparked new inspiration, that aroused new curiousity for topic matters, challenges, and relations.
That said, we’re more than happy we had our peers around on hotelcampus: Our partners and speakers whom we owe a huge thank you for daring to take this first step with us, to trust in us and to cater to hotelcampus, making this an unforgettable success.
Enjoy a few impressions in the movie:
The one key learning from our Hochschule-Days that we’ve saved for later, was successfully applied: Lectures alone can be pretty bland.
Hence, we shook it up a little, and added an interactive part: Lounges and seats where all the hotel and revenue management nerderie would flock together, engage in discussions and debates about what the next big thing in our industry will/ will rather not be.
The thematic spread was immense:
From visibility as key to bookings to distribution challenges, from the feedback economy to global revenue management behaviours.
As were the speakers: We were honored to have our little stage trampled by industry veterans and thought leaders like duetto’s Franziska Schemman, Taktikon’s Annemarie Gubanski, or Demand Calendar’s Anders Johansson, as well as innovators from the startup sphere like Bart-Jan Leyt from Loreca, or Sortirios Stienemeyer from hotel marketing startup Online Birds.
Presentations covered the topics of positioning, personalization, RevMarketing automation, argued about distribution challenges, system integration, and automation in hospitality operations.
The complete list of presentations would be way too long to mention here, but hey, we’ve got it right here for you. In short: It was quite a blast! Have a glimpse into some of the topics here ...

The first semester, however, is over. And while we’re still busy digesting the information overload, we’re simultaneously hungry for more.
Are you, too? They say, it’s life-long-learning anyway, right? So, let’s see where our curriculum leads us in the upcoming semesters. We've got a lot in the making, including, but not limited to eLearning, a meetup series, and a dedicated newsletter. Please follow us on LinkedIn to stay in the know!
With hotelcampus, the HQ revenue team builds the new platform for networking and education in the digital revenue management sector:

You can’t start a fire without a spark. With your help, we hope we’ve started a conflagration. At least. Which makes us partners in crime, literally.
Thus, what’s left to say for now, is: Thank you! Thank you for taking the time to stop by, chat with us and our partners, listen to the presentations, and of course: Sharing a good time with us at the hotelcampus party! With that said, we're looking forward and work towards next year's ITB. Mark 5th – 7th March 2024 in your agenda already, we hope to welcome you back there as well.
