Monetising the guest or tenant journey
Hosted by Matthew Prosser and Paul Finch of Agilysys.
Rather than looking solely at income streams from the space in assets, how can owners, developers and operators think about additional revenue streams from their end users, and what is the role of technology in enabling these new revenue streams?
The attendees will be split in to five groups and each given a fictional asset in Porto. Their role will be to devise a series of extra revenue streams generated from the end user of each asset.
One of the groups will be using an ai app to see how its ideas compare with human brain power!
The assets will be:
• A boutique hotel
• A student accommodation building
• A serviced apartment building with ground floor workspace
• An apartment block used for vacation rentals
• A coliving building

The group leaders feed back their ideas to the room.
