Ocean wellness and preventative healthcare on the menu for Forum HOTel&Spa 2022

ForumHOTel&Spa is gearing up for its first in-person event since the pandemic.

The premier spa industry gathering is set to take place at the Hotel Four Seasons George V in Paris, France, on June 2, 2022. 

Hosted by event organiser Vladi Kovanic and moderated by World Wellness Weekend and TipTouch CEO Jean-Guy de Gabriac, this year’s event will be themed around the idea of ‘Thinking Outside the Box’.

Forum HOTel&Spa will feature a programme of talks covering topics such as ocean wellness, the value of people, thalassotherapy and preventative healthcare from experts such as Roger Allen, group CEO of RLA Global, USA, UAE and Austria, who will deliver the opening keynote. 

Other speakers include Sammy Gharieni, founder of luxury spa furniture manufacturer Gharieni; Dr Franz Linser, founder and CEO of Linser Hospitality in Austria; and Cornelia Kausch, managing director and leadership coach at EMCC INSEA in Germany. 

As well as moderating the event, de-Gabriac will also lead an education session entitled ‘Wellness 2.0: A Strategic Growth Accelerator in 2022’.

In addition, Forum HOTel&Spa’s long-time media partner European Spa will have a presence with founding editor Sarah Camilleri speaking on a journalist panel alongside moderator and freelance journalist Jane Kitchen and Luxe Magazine France’s Katya Pellegrino. 

The event will also include expert panels hosted by the event’s Gold Sponsors: Lemi, Biologique Recherche, NILO, Swissline, Chateau Berger, and Corpoderm. 

As well as a host of networking opportunities, proceedings will be capped by the Blue and Black Diamond Awards to honour talented individuals working in thalassotherapy and an ‘outstanding and inspiring’ spa manager.

“Forum HOTel&Spa is a combination of events that doesn’t exist anywhere else in Europe,” Kovanic told European Spa. 

“It provides a space for hoteliers, suppliers, stakeholders and specialists to meet on the same level and share their knowledge and experience.”

The 2022 edition of Forum HOTel&Spa has been described by Kovanic as “boutique event, very small and very, very luxury”, with places limited to just 120 delegates. Register here to get your tickets.
