Where Will Hospitality's Next Growth Come From?
Where will hospitality’s next growth come from?
Join Valpas, Cendyn, BeCause and MeetingPackage for an invite-only Slush Day 0 gathering of 70 hospitality leaders at Bar Runar, Hotel F6, in Helsinki on Tuesday 17 November 2026, from 17:00 to 21:00.
We’re bringing together Nordic hotel property owners, investors and developers with European operators and hospitality founders to explore new partnerships and growth opportunities, across both new projects and existing hotels.
At 18:00, Inese Zača, COO of Mogotel, Mikaela Pomrén, General Manager & CEO of Hotel Helka, and Noora Kuvaja, Investment Director at CapMan, will join Martim Gois, CEO of Valpas, for a 30-minute panel exploring the investment and operating decisions that turn growth into lasting value.
Moderated by Martim, the discussion will cover:
Build, convert or buy: Where are the Nordic opportunities, and what makes a project viable?
The right owner-operator partnership: What do both sides need to commit to a new market, concept or property?
More value from existing hotels: Which investments in guest experience, technology and sustainability improve cash flow and asset value?
Revenue beyond the room: Which services and experiences generate demand and translate into profit?
Before and after the panel, join us for drinks, food and conversations with fellow hospitality leaders. There will be time to exchange perspectives, meet potential partners and continue the discussion throughout the evening.
This gathering is for hotel property owners, investors, developers and asset managers; hotel founders, CEOs and development leaders; and selected commercial, operations and sustainability leaders.
When: Tuesday 17 November 2026, 17:00–21:00 EET. Panel at 18:00.
Where: Bar Runar, Hotel F6, Fabianinkatu 6, Helsinki.
Attendance is by invitation, with registration subject to approval.
