The new edition of HICON – scheduled for December 3rd – has transformed into a fully digital event. It’s not losing any of its innovative character. On the contrary, we’ve selected an innovative platform never before used in Italy to serve as the event’s virtual venue, allowing attendees to participate and network as if they were there!
The new, fully digital format of HICON 2020
Mirko Lalli, at the helm of the HICON scientific committee with Giancarlo Carniani and Nicola Delvecchio, explains, “The decision was based on two main reasons. First, due to the uncertainty about what will happen in coming weeks regarding current regulations and the possibility of another lockdown.”
“Second and most importantly, the decision was made in respect for everyone’s health and safety – avoiding travel and the possibility of contagion.”
An innovative platform
Lalli reveals, “I tried Remo during an important remote meeting organized by an innovation hub in Silicon Valley and it immediately struck me. Its 2D map structure, with tables, chairs, a stage and even floors where you can move, chat and actively engage with other participants makes it ideal for safeguarding not only the use of content, but also the networking dimension that’s so precious in face-to-face events. Trust that it’s not your average conference on Zoom.”
High-level speakers
We’ll have two other stages focusing specifically on hospitality and destinations. In the Hospitality Hall, speakers will reveal the latest innovations in the hospitality sector and the leading cutting-edge technologies hoteliers can take advantage of today. In addition, we’ll also have a room dedicated to Officina Turistica and the minds behind the award-winning Italian blog: Robi Veltroni and Silvia Moggia. They will involve some of the top journalists and researchers for a side view of tourism where you’ll get an inside look at the future of destinations.
