Last year's inaugural Revenue Strategy Forum drew more than 100 hotel industry professionals, discussing increasing challenges from the growth of third-party intermediaries and the further commoditization of the hospitality industry. Attendees concluded that hotels must develop a holistic approach to Revenue Strategy, which optimizes channel mix to achieve greater profitability and retain and create market share.

On 7 November, discussion turns to the state of the industry today, with challenges intensified further and hotel performance entering a new period of uncertainty and disquiet.

"Entering its second year in Europe, RSF has quickly become a critical program to develop new ideas that will shape the future of hospitality," said Patrick Bosworth, Co-founder and CEO of Duetto. "As macroeconomic trends and forces impacting the industry become even more volatile, we are excited to expand this forum to bring hotel professionals together and develop new revenue strategies alongside owners, asset managers, brands and fellow innovators."
