Boutique Hotel Summit Boutique Hotel Summit was launched in London in 2011 as an alternative to the myriad events which aim to cater for the hospitality sector as a whole. We recognised the need for a bespoke event aimed solely at the boutique and lifestyle hotel market, and we re glad to say the industry agreed with us and has embraced the event wholeheartedly. A combination of high quality seminars featuring industry-leading speakers from around the world, and great networking opportunities has seen the event boost attendance from 155 in 2011 to 240 in 2012. Europe s only b2b conference for the boutique hotel sector has attracted delegates from around the world, and is a great way to learn and meet potential news business contacts, and showcase your product. We offer a wide range of sponsorship options for the Summit, as well as the chance to take an exhibition stand at the event.
