ABOUT HORECA KONFERENCIA
The HORECA Konferencia is the largest professional event for hoteliers, restaurateurs, and suppliers in Slovakia. Each year, it convenes executives, entrepreneurs, industry experts, and ecosystem partners to collaboratively address the issues shaping the future of the HORECA sector.
THE TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS YEAR
The program offered contemporary perspectives on AI in hospitality, practical digitalization, modern marketing in the era of reels and micro-influencers, design trends for communal spaces, human capital sustainability, and service quality.
The agenda also encompassed the future of gastronomy, technological innovations, data utilization, and strategic discussions on how Slovakia can enhance its global competitiveness.
Dozens of experts shared their insights, including hotel chain executives, consultants, technology leaders, winemakers, architects, marketers, operations managers, and specialists spearheading on the-ground innovations.
The core program was complemented by practical workshops—ranging from AI application and content creation to housekeeping operations, video production, and LinkedIn strategies—as well as professional tastings and technological demonstrations.
EXHIBITION ZONE
An integral component of the conference was a large- scale EXPO zone showcasing the latest products, technologies, and services tailored for hotels, restaurants, cafés, and spas.
This spring, the event featured 57 exhibitors, including industry leaders in equipment, beverages, hygiene solutions, software, and digitalization, alongside innovative startups.
