HYPE is an initiative launched in 2023 to champion the next generation of hospitality leaders. Built by and for young professionals in the industry, HYPE exists to create space for growth, connection, and transformation.

From cutting-edge insights to real-world leadership development, HYPE empowers young professionals to take charge of their future, challenge the status quo, and shape the future of hospitality.
Whether you're just starting out or leveling up, HYPE is where the next generation of hotel owners and leaders rise—together.
