About XP Hospitality
XP “Experience” Hospitality is a series of regional events from Holidaymaker, created because we were increasingly frustrated by the misinformation and poor selling around marketing and technology in the hospitality sector.
We set out to share clear, practical knowledge, level the playing field and make access to insight available to everyone, not just the premium end of the market.
Focusing on what actually works. On brand, marketing, guest experience, and technology that helps teams stay in control and connect rather than creating more silos.
Expect time well spent with people who care about UK travel, leisure and hospitality.
Every event is free to attend, thanks to the support of our partners, with lunch and refreshments always included.
If you want to speak, sponsor or add something to the gift bags, get in touch. Email hello@holidaymakerapp.co.uk and tell us how you’d like to be involved.
