As a leader in advancing connectivity for the hospitality industry, Cox Business is committed to supporting cutting-edge solutions. We recently attended The Hospitality Show 2024 in San Antonio, Texas, which was held by Questex and the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA).
With over 400 exhibitors, the expo offered tools and solutions to increase revenue, optimize operations, and improve guest satisfaction.
At this year’s show, participants were able to engage in interactive Expo Hall Experiences, including the In-Room Entertainment Zone, Outdoor Hospitality, and ESG Pavilion. These showcases demonstrated how technology and new partnerships can transform hospitality spaces into areas for revenue growth, guest engagement, and sustainability-focused practices.
Cox Business Participation and Panel Discussion
We’re proud to say our booth was a success, and we greatly appreciate everyone who stopped by. We were excited to see steady engagement from clients, partners, and new faces at our booth.
We also had the opportunity to participate in the Spotlight Stage Panel “The Power of WiFi and Private Cellular for a Holistic Connectivity Solution.” The panel showcased the expertise of Chris Bennett from Cox Private Networks, Kathy Hatala from Blueprint RF, and Troy Walton from Hospitality Network. They discussed how integrating WiFi with private cellular solutions can offer a future-ready approach to connectivity tailored to meet enterprise needs. Some critical insights included the importance of a robust, scalable IT infrastructure that can drive efficiency and optimize guest experiences.
Key Takeaways from The Hospitality Show
There were several valuable takeaways from The Hospitality Show, including:
- Technology for Profitability: There was a conference-wide focus on leveraging hotel technology for profitability, as Alex Alt’s panel highlighted. The panel included industry leaders discussing the role of digital tools and data analytics in optimizing costs and enhancing guest experiences. Key themes included tools like smart room tech and AI-driven customer service support.
- Sustainability as Profit: Sustainability emerged as a central theme, especially through the session “Green to Gold: Sustainability as Profit,” highlighting how green initiatives can drive revenue growth. This focus aligns with the values of many industry stakeholders who visited our booth and engaged with Cox Business on how technology can contribute to sustainable operations.
