Innovation & Technology Webinar
Online Webinar
| Event Description |
Join us for an exclusive Innovation & Technology webinar designed especially for forward-thinking hoteliers. Hosted by Ketan Pema, Information Technology Project Manager with Defenovate, this dynamic session will explore emerging trends, practical insights, and transformative strategies shaping the future of hospitality.
We’re excited to announce our first webinar of the year featuring Ken Patel. Ken, a leader at EV Hotels, will be sharing why he joined Defenovate and how EV Hotels is staying ahead of the curve with AI innovation and crypto-forward thinking in hospitality.
We’ll also discuss why the cybersecurity landscape is rapidly intensifying. With major incidents impacting organizations like MGM Resorts International and the ripple effects seen across the industry following CrowdStrike events, combined with accelerating AI integration, the risks are only increasing. The time to act is now.
Join us for a timely conversation on where technology, hospitality, and cybersecurity are heading.
We look forward to seeing you there.
