Unlike traditional conference formats, HoSS is built around implementation.
Day 1 is a strategic masterclass led by Reynolds, guiding delegates through goal-to-KPI alignment, content pillars, audience-channel mapping, and brand personality. Every attendee leaves with a completed Strategy on a Page. Day 2 features eight facilitator-led, 90-minute labs on paid social, AI content, creator partnerships, video, international audience strategy, social care, and legal guardrails — each designed to produce tangible outputs delegates can act on immediately. Joining the faculty are Laura Ferrari, former Director of Social Media EAME at Hyatt Hotels Corporation, and Stefano Della Schiava, whose work spans Nespresso, Toyota Europe, and Mastercard. Together they lead a Day 2 lab on multi-market strategy and measurable booking paths for global guests.
Delegates receive access to the HoSS Digital Hub, an AI-powered learning platform extending the value of the Summit long after the event. Attendance counts toward internationally recognised professional development certification. Also launching at the Summit is the Hospitality Social Media Benchmark Report — a global study of 300+ industry leaders covering AI adoption, commercial attribution, and team structures heading into 2027, with findings previewed exclusively for delegates.
