Sustainability will be an important theme discussed at NoVacancy 2025, an industry-leading event at ICC Sydney this September.
Every day, accommodation businesses are challenged not just with running their property and solving its operating issues, but optimising performance in the face of rising costs, sustainability requirements and owner expectations. Join your industry peers for a day full of ideas, inspiration, and success stories.
Diana Rico-Roa, Director of ESG PLUS, will lead the discussion on turning mandatory emissions reporting into market leadership. Jorn Wisselink, CEO of Wildaroo and Helen Kuo, Principal of FK Architects, will explore the world of design. Their discussion, “Build once, scale everywhere: Modular design systems for multi-asset portfolios”, will take place at the Sustainability seminar on Thursday, 18th of September.
The sustainability conferences are an essential way to understand sustainability in the revolving industry, and offer a platform to connect, network and share stories with other sustainable directors. Explore what new technology there is to help drive higher occupancy, navigate the OTAs and boost your bottom line. Plus, learn from peers and experts at the sustainable hotel summit.
Emerging businesses will also pitch their boldest ideas to a panel of industry judges, investors, and potential partners at the NoVacancy 2025: The Pitch Series. From game-changing guest experiences to smarter operations, see what’s next in hotel and accommodation innovation. Judges include Nicholas Ooi, an Investor from Investible, Melissa Kalan, Founding Director of ARMA, Australian Revenue Management Association, and Emma Hynes, Director of Operations for Australasia & Pacific at IHG Hotels & Resorts.
Event Director Matt Gatfield said that practical solutions and the latest innovations will be on show, as well as creating the best opportunity to connect with people to help tackle the biggest industry challenges.
“Whether you want to get ahead on technology, refresh your approach to guest experience, or simply see what’s new, NoVacancy is where you’ll find your next idea or partnership. If you want to keep your business ahead of the curve, this is the place to be,” said Gatfield.
NoVacancy will be held at ICC Sydney 17th and 18th of September.
