Born from VDA Group's collaboration with The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management and the Hospitality Asset Managers Association MEA - HAMA MEA, our EAHM students officially published their white paper for HITEC Dubai, an intensive education programme planned by an Advisory Council comprised of world-renowned hospitality technologists from some of the region’s best hotels and resorts. 

The event featured interactive presentations, discussions and demonstrations centred around lessons from diverse real-world case studies, results from the hottest technology implementations and pilots, as well an examination of near-future innovations and trends.

We also had our very own Director of Research and Innovation, Dr Sanjay Nadkarni, join the group of panellists of speakers showcasing the learnings of creating an open innovation hub for the hospitality and service industry with Rene Massatti, Co-Founder and Managing Director of PLAYROOM, a design thinking service company.
