ABOUT

The Lobby is a movement – a community where top decisionmakers from the European hospitality industry meet to consciously learn from each other, network and shape the future. We motivate the hotel industry to think forward with innovative angles and cool key-note-speaks.
2023 Theme is FORWARDISM

FORWARDism thinks about tomorrow while respecting and remembering the past and considers progressiveness, climate, and humanism as their most natural state.
FORWARDism is the joy of belonging and using the power of friendship to experience a sense of lasting joy in the future.
FORWARDism is to be courageous to share, care and evolve as a community.

At the Lobby we dare to ask questions, we love to have fun, and restlessly strive for a better tomorrow.

Join The Lobby 2023 FORWARDism on September 5th + 6th in Copenhagen.
