Hospitality 3.0 Symposium at NYU

On April 29th, the META Foundation hosted the Hospitality 3.0 Symposium at the NYU Kimmel Center. The symposium provided a unique platform for thought leaders, innovators, and changemakers to converge, share perspectives, and co-create solutions. From discussions on reimagining hospitality as a planetary system to exploring the intersection of design, technology, and wellness, each session focused on hospitality at different scales:

— Hospitality and Ecology: As climate change and environmental degradation dominate global discourse, a new hospitality movement seeks to redefine the relationship between travel, technology, education and environmental stewardship.

— Hospitality and Society: In a world where technological advancement often outpaces our understanding of its impact on human health and society, hospitality is redefining what it means to build mindful, healthy and resilient societies.

— Hospitality and Culture: As digital interactions increasingly shape our everyday lives, the question of how brands can authentically engage with diverse communities remains more relevant than ever.

As we reflect on the insights gleaned and connections made during the symposium, we look forward to continuing this journey together and translating our shared vision into meaningful action. Together, we will continue to chart new pathways towards a brighter, more inclusive future.
