10th Edition · The Hospitality Spark

Lead. Innovate. Repeat.

A decade of the hospitality industry’s finest minds — returning to the Adriatic for a boldly reimagined 10th edition.

A decade of HOW

Ten years of refusing to stand still.

For ten years, HOW has been the meeting point of the industry’s finest minds — and it has refused to stand still.

Every edition has added something the room didn’t know it needed yet: new formats, new voices, sharper conversations, deeper nights. Not because change is a brand strategy, but because the industry never sits still — and neither do the people who fill this room.

In 2026 we’re not here to recap the last ten years. We are here to spark the next ten.
