2025 was the year many organisations discovered that “smart” AI agents still fail when they are forced to run on yesterday’s enterprise plumbing, and 2026 will belong to the leaders who rebuild the nervous system, not just the brain, by redesigning workflows for an agentic-first world, shifting from rigid request-response patterns to event-driven fluidity, and putting three practical pillars in place: semantic telemetry agents can actually read, stateless and asynchronous APIs that support self-correcting long-running work, and a metadata layer that turns clean data into context-rich decisions, so if you want a clear, no-nonsense blueprint for moving beyond pilots and breaking through the production wall, read the full text.

As we look ahead to 2026, the year feels genuinely promising for Hospitality Net and for the wider hospitality community. Our industry continues to move forward through conversation, collaboration, and the kind of face-to-face connection that turns ideas into initiatives. Events remain the moments where perspectives sharpen, partnerships form, and new solutions move from concept to operational reality. With that spirit in mind, we are pleased to introduce the 2026 Hospitality Net Industry Calendar, a curated guide to the year’s most relevant gatherings across the global hospitality landscape.

In recent years, massive leaps have been made in the development of humanoid robots. The idea of making mechanical humans that can do our chores for us is as old as Talos, the fictional bronze man that was thought up by the ancient Greeks in 300 B.C. However, recent developments in robot building might make human-shaped robots a real possibility in people’s houses in the near future, and possibly also in our professional work environments.

PRAGUE, 8 January 2026. RobosizeME, a leading provider of workflow automation solutions for the hospitality industry, has announced its sponsorship of the upcoming Oracle Hospitality Summit 2026, taking place January 19–21 at the Park Plaza London Riverbank.

What becomes clear heading into 2026 is that advantage no longer comes from isolated innovation. It comes from coherence. The hotels pulling ahead are not experimenting more than their peers; they are aligning experience, operations, and technology into a single, reinforcing system. Where that alignment exists, execution accelerates. Where it does not, even strong ideas struggle to scale.

In the world of hospitality, creativity and culture are often expressed through grand gestures: sweeping architecture, curated interiors, art installations, or signature experiences. These are the elements hotels proudly showcase and rightly so. They set the stage.

Happy New Year! This is the season when many people (and companies) take time to reset and prepare to kick off the new year. Some have already made their plan. Others choose to do it at the beginning of the year. It doesn’t matter when you choose to reset as long as you do it. So, for this first article, I’d like to offer up something to consider. Twelve New Year’s resolutions in the form of what you should STOP doing! (By the way, I recently wrote a similar article featuring five of these for Forbes. Read the article here.)
