Background of Participation and 'Hotel Innovation Forum 2026'

This forum, with the concept of 'transformation' to 'implementation' in the accommodation industry, discusses the industry's 'next move' from the perspectives of digital, AI, and brand. Following the first event (held in November 2025) with a satisfaction rate of 92%, this second event will delve deeper into more specific 'implementation'.

PPP STUDIO, based on its deep track record of collaboration with Nazuna Inc. in short video marketing and accommodation promotions using 'TikTok GO,' strongly identifies with the philosophy of this event and has decided to co-host and provide its own office (Shibuya, Dogenzaka-dori) as the venue. The event will be held in a hybrid format of online and offline, bringing together top runners who lead the accommodation industry.
