HFTP AI Hospitality Exchange

NYLO Las Colinas Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Irving, Texas, United States
This inaugural, two-day event will examine how artificial intelligence is changing hospitality operations, finance and technology. The Hospitality AI Exchange arrives as hospitality organizations face growing pressure to adopt AI responsibly while managing new risks. Explore an education program that will address both the promise and challenges of AI. Sessions are built for hospitality leaders who want practical guidance they can bring back to their teams.
"AI is reshaping how hospitality businesses operate, from the back office to the guest experience," said HFTP CEO Frank Wolfe, CAE. "Our members need clear, trusted information to use these tools wisely and securely. The AI Collective gives our community a place to learn, ask tough questions, and lead the way forward."
Expert Insights and Interactive AI Discussions
The first day opens with a Round Table Discussion, giving participants the opportunity to exchange ideas and real-world experiences with peers and experts, followed by updates on recent progress and initiatives from the AI Collective. The second day of the agenda will examine focused topics including: Enterprise Governance (how organizations can build policies and oversight for AI use), AI and Intellectual Property (ownership, licensing and legal questions around AI-generated content), and the AI ABCs (a foundational session clarifying key terms and concepts). The program concludes with AI's Darkside (a candid look at security threats, bias, misuse and other risks that come with AI adoption).
