Forum HOTel&SPA announces speaker line-up and extended programme

Forum HOTel&SPA has announced its speaker line-up for 2025 with an extended programme of talks and networking opportunities.

To be held at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris, it has been a must-visit event on the spa industry calendar for 17 years.

The gathering draws delegates from across the European continent and as far away as the US and Middle East.

European Spa is a proud partner to Forum HOTel&SPA, which is now part of the PB Group.

Spa networking and connecting

For the 2025 edition, delegates and speakers will consider the theme: ‘True luxury is the freedom to choose.’ It will consider the definition of luxury and explore the idea of personalisation and what this means.

The event welcomes participants each year from over 15 countries. Attendance is intentionally limited to just 120 guests, ensuring quality and an intimate atmosphere.

The Forum takes place over a single day — from 10:3am to 6:45pm and includes:

• Eight themed sessions led by internationally renowned experts
• Two coffee networking breaks
• A refined evening cocktail reception
• The Black, Blue & Red Diamond Awards Ceremony, a highlight honouring the most influential figures in the industry

Forum HOTel&SPA has always aimed to foster exchanges between professionals in an environment conducive to inspiration and innovation. It also aims to honour excellence, with the annual presentation of the awards to influential industry leaders.
