Speaking at Influence Society’s Event in NYC
On September 11, 2025, I had the honor of speaking at Influence Society’s SOCIETIES event at Spring Place in New York City — a gathering that brought together forward-thinking hospitality leaders to explore how AI, design, and digital innovation are shaping the future of guest experiences.
A Brilliant Morning of Ideas & Collaboration
The event featured voices from Firmdale Hotels, Faena New York, Hotel Hugo, Namastay, and Club Med, sharing case studies and strategies on:
AI-driven guest journeys and smarter search
Brand storytelling in the digital era
Wellness as a non-negotiable part of hospitality
Design and technology for unforgettable experiences
It was an inspiring morning filled with fresh perspectives, open conversations, and a shared vision of how technology and human connection can work hand in hand to elevate hospitality worldwide.
My Talk: Well-Being as a Driver of Hospitality
I had the privilege of closing the session with a topic close to my heart: Why well-being is non-negotiable in today’s ultra-productive world and how hospitality can lead the way in making it a true driver for travelers.
As the industry embraces AI and digital innovation, it’s essential that we don’t lose sight of what truly matters: human presence, care, and emotional connection. When well-being is woven into the guest journey, technology becomes an enhancer not a replacement of authentic experiences.
A huge thank you to Influence Society for hosting such a brilliant event, and for having me as a speaker. 🚀
Bravo to Sébastien Felix and Joseph Naggiar for curating such a dynamic morning of exchange. And a special thanks to our Webflow partners for their invaluable support in bringing best-in-class digital technology to the hospitality community.
This event was a powerful reminder of how much we can achieve when hospitality leaders come together to share knowledge and shape the future.
I’m honored to have been part of this forward-thinking conversation and am already looking forward to the next SOCIETIES event. Until then, let’s continue building a world where AI innovation and human-centered well-being go hand in hand.
