It is time for new ideas and new energy - a total CHANGE IN THE MINDSET.

​

Our aim was to build on the success of our previous events to facilitate the comeback of the industry. The third edition of the forum tackled topics that were not just relevant or obviously necessary, but also inspired to create better and more resilient business models in hospitality.

​

Day 1 took place at the PROTO Invention Factory in Tallinn with quality content, sumptuous lunch at Lore Bistro and ample time for networking throughout the day.

​

All inclusive ticket holders were also invited to the evening social event at Põhjala Brewery & Tap Room in Noblessner (next to PROTO) with music, drinks, food and a few surprises.

​

Day 2 took a complete turn from busy city life and immersed the attendees in the pristine nature of TAJU - the newly opened development 30min drive from Tallinn. The focus was on wellness starting the day with a meditation trail, continuing with strategic workshops and ending with the culinary highlights of TAJU by Head Chef Ranno Paukson.

THANK YOU!
