Annual
Convention Spain

Our Annual Convention in Spain, held at the Hotel Claridge in Madrid, was a great success, bringing together leaders and professionals from the hotel sector in an environment focused on learning and collaboration.

The event featured high-level talks from experts such as Antonio Espasa Mateos from Banco Santander, Juanfran Castuera from American Express, Beatriz Giménez from PayPal Iberia and Matías Undurraga from Amazon Web Services, as well as an exclusive masterclass from EHL Hospitality Business School.

In addition, attendees took part in workshops led by Cafés Candelas, exploring innovation. The event also provided a space for high-value networking, fostering strategic connections and future collaborations.

A day that reaffirms the convention as a benchmark event for the hotel sector in Spain, combining knowledge, inspiration and unique experiences.
