The world’s
leading hotel groups will return to The Meetings Show – the UK’s leading platform
for the meetings and events industry - next month to showcase their meetings and events innovations and updates.
The Meetings
Show, at Excel London on 25-26 June, offers two days of networking, knowledge
sharing and game-changing business for the hospitality and events
industry.
With the
global meetings and events market projected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2028, according to Grand
View Research, hotels are increasing and refurbishing their meetings and events
space to help capitalise on this growth.
Hospitality
giants including Marriott, Hilton, Melia Hotels & Resorts, Great Hotels of
the World and QHotels will be among the 650 suppliers ready to meet event
buyers over the two days of The Meetings Show, ready to share news of expanded
meeting spaces, upgraded hotel rooms and brand new concepts.
Exhibiting for
the first time is South Africa’s largest hospitality company Southern Sun,
which has 16,000 bedrooms and conference venues and banqueting facilities at
over 90 hotels and resorts in Africa, The Seychelles and the Middle East.
The group,
which operates under 15 different brands, will be on-hand to talk about its
recent hotel refurbishments and meetings and events facilities.
Meanwhile, The
Hoxton, operator of four London hotels, will return to the 2025 show with
news of its latest take on meetings and events.
The Apartment
– found at all four London hotels – is a laid-back, creative meeting space that
feels more homely than corporate. The flexible spaces, built for brainstorming
sessions, big ideas and intimate dinners, can be reconfigured to accommodate
changing needs and are centred around a fully stocked Pantry Kitchen providing
F&B.
Others sharing
news include Irish family-owned hotel group Carlton Hotels, which has undergone
a rebrand and European hotel brand H-Hotels, which has rebranded as Revo
Hospitality Group.
Hotel
operators will join hundreds of other event suppliers – from
venues and technology suppliers to destination marketing organisations and
associations – over the two days of the show.
Jack
Marczewski, portfolio event director, Northstar Meetings Group, said: "The number of hotel exhibitors we’ve welcomed to The Meetings Show has
gradually increased over the last 13 years and hotels now make up around a
third of our exhibitor mix. Together with venues, destinations and all other
MICE suppliers who support the show, hotels help demonstrate the breadth
of this vibrant sector and we’re thrilled to provide a platform for them to
share their updates and catch up with buyers to help meet their clients’
needs.”
The Meetings
Show 2025 will be co-located with Business Travel Show Europe and TravelTech
Show. To find out more and register as a buyer, hosted buyer, or visitor,
