Founded in London in 2012, and with the Independent Hotel Show Amsterdam launching in 2019 to huge acclaim, the Independent Hotel Show brand has proven to be hugely effective in bringing together thousands of hotel owners, general managers and key decision makers to source new products and services, do business and network. 

Shane Hannam, Managing Director for Montgomery Events, commented: “The Independent Hotel Show brand is synonymous with the latest hospitality and design trends, building communities of like-minded independent hoteliers, high quality suppliers and insightful, expertly curated seminar content.

“After the success of the Amsterdam show, we are delighted to be launching in Germany. Munich, renowned for its vibrant hotel industry, diverse events, culinary delights, picturesque landscapes, excellent infrastructure, and thriving tech and innovation scene, provides the ideal backdrop for the launch of the Independent Hotel Show Munich.
