The Forum Hotel & Spa industry event will take place on 1 June, 2017 at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris.

The one-day conference and networking event has the theme of “a bridge for wellness life,” and organiser Vladi Kovanic says there will be three panels on spa, thalassotherapy and thermalisme.

This is the 10th anniversary of the event, which brings together international industry suppliers, operators and consultants in a compact, intimate setting.

This year’s event, which was held in June, included speakers Dr Franz Linser, owner and managing director of Linser Hospitality, who discussed lifestyle changes and how they will impact the future of wellness; Roger Allen, co-founder of Resources for Leisure Assets, who talked about the economic reality of hotel wellness; Anna Bjurstam, vice president of Six Senses Spas, who discussed the company’s new wellness screening and programming; and Ingo Schweder, CEO and founder of GOCO Hospitality, who looked at the growth of wellness communities around the world.

Speakers for 2017’s event have not yet been announced.

Additionally, the Black Diamond Award, which recognises the best spa manager, and the Red Diamond, which recognises the best thalassotherapy spa manager, are given out in a ceremony at the end of the event.
