Join Us in Belgium for the 63rd World Congress on AI in Hospitality

Dear EUHOFA friends,

We are happy to introduce to you the 63th EUHOFA International Worldcongress that will take place in Belgium this coming Spring.

The team from Hotelschool Ghent and Spermalie Bruges will be co hosting the 2026 congress under the theme "IA in the Hospitality Industry". This is the right subject at the right time, in a great location. AI is no longer a novelty, and it is yet a reality, improving faster than other technologies did in the past. The latest trends and AI providers are continuously changing and improving while I write these words until the congress' dates in April. In fact, I can assure that our guest speakers will have to update their presentations until the last minute for the congress in Belgium. And what a great destination: Ghent and Bruges. Two beautiful cities that will host our academic and social programs while enjoying their hospitality heritage and exceptional food.

As the President of the first international hotel, hospitality, culinary and tourism schools' association, I would like to formally invite you to attend this congress in Belgium. By doing so, you will have the chance to learn the latest trends and resources of AI in the Hospitality Industry, so you can include them in your school's classrooms. Besides, joining us will offer you the opportunity to meet your friends and increase your network of colleagues with your same position and exchange best practices. While technology is facilitating professional meetings online, attending in person congresses has more value to each of us. Many (probably most) of us gained friendships with the same interests over the years, the reason why we would like you to join us once again. Besides, If it is your first time, we will be more than happy to introduce you to the EUHOFA family.

Meanwhile, I want to wish you a nice beginning of the new school year.

Wishing meeting you in Belgium,

LLuís Serra
President EUHOFA International
