HotelRunner will bring data and signal-led insights to this year's discussions on how its partners can stay on the winning side of a shifting industry, along with key messages on the innovations ahead.
HotelRunner, the leading global hospitality and travel technology company, will join The Phocuswright Conference 2026, taking place from November 17 to 19 at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Continuing its tradition as a sponsor of the event, HotelRunner will once again meet the decision-makers and C-level executives shaping travel, tourism, and hospitality, and will take its place in the conversations set to define the industry's direction.
This year's program is built around the theme “Pressures. Power. Pivots”. Across the ecosystem, companies are facing the same reality: pressures are intensifying, power is shifting, and pivots have become a condition of staying competitive. HotelRunner will bring a clear perspective to these discussions. In a period of shifting power, the technology a business relies on decides which side of the change it ends up on, and HotelRunner builds its solutions so that hotels, travel agencies, and distribution partners land on the winning side.
HotelRunner's contributions will be grounded in data. With thousands of accommodation providers all around the world and millions of daily transactions running through its platform, the company will share what the past period has revealed about changing demand, pricing and distribution dynamics, and what those signals mean for the businesses navigating them.
These insights come shortly after HotelRunner opened its Autonomous Supply™ Program to the wider industry following its closed beta phase. The program invites travel businesses and technology partners to turn real-time signals into coordinated actions across distribution, operations, payments and guest engagement. It lays the foundation for what HotelRunner calls the Signal Economy and prepares the industry for the Business-to-Agent (B2A) economy, where AI agents increasingly take part in how travel is discovered and booked. At the conference, HotelRunner will also share key messages on the innovations it is preparing to bring to its partners next.
HotelRunner's leadership team will be on site throughout the conference to meet partners and attendees, exchange views on the forces reshaping the industry and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
Driven by innovation and backed by more than 15 years of travel expertise, HotelRunner continues to serve as the end-to-end partner that connects every point of the hospitality journey, with technology at its core.
