The Modern Hotelier #127: What Coming in 2025: Big News, Events, and More
===
Steve Carran: Welcome to the first episode of The Modern Hotelier in 2025. We are excited to kick off a new year, and with a new year we have some exciting changes and some new things that we'll be adding on. David, can you tell us about the big announcement that we have that we're excited about?
David Millili: Yeah, we are excited to announce the launch of Modern Hotelier Media. Modern Hotelier Media will include things such as video production featuring the hotel experience, events, marketing services, including social media management, Design and content production and more.
Steve Carran: And with that, like David said, we're launching a new episode format called The Hotel Experience. This is going to give you a behind the scenes look at some of the coolest hotels and talk to some hoteliers that are really making a change in hospitality and creating some great guest experiences. Keep an eye out next week when we will be launching our pilot episode with Hotel Contessa in San Antonio. 
Jon Bumhoffer: And we're really excited to be doing more in person events and interviews. This year we're planning to be at BITEC, CLIQUE, HITEC and the Hospitality Show. And we're also going to be doing more in person interviews with hoteliers in various cities.
Steve Carran: I will also be the chair at the Digital Transformation in Hotels and Hospitality Summit in Orlando, Florida. If you're interested in learning more about that, feel free to reach out to me. We're also going to be adding more episodes throughout the year. Instead of just one a week, we'll be doing two episodes a week.
We will also be releasing our monthly newsletter, Showcasing what we've done over the past month and looking ahead to where we'll be in the month ahead. Um, we'll also be doing some select and featured merch drops throughout the year, so keep an eye on that where you can score some awesome merch.
David Millili: And make sure to check out our Modern Hotelier media promotional video, giving you an overview of all of our offerings. And if you've got feedback for us, please let us know, either put it in a comment or direct message us. And with that, we just want to wish everybody a happy new year.

Jon Bumhoffer: Happy New Year.
