About · Abu Dhabi 17–18 March 2027

Where the future of stay is shaped not just discussed.

A high-trust, invitation-only summit where senior leaders move from ideas to real-world pilots in days, not years.

our purpose

A working room — not a stage.

Future Stay Summit is built for senior leaders from government, industry and technology to work side-by-side on the future of hospitality, accommodation and prop-tech.

Every session is designed to move from insight to decision, and from decision to action. Attendance is limited. Every participant is carefully selected.

Who the summit is for

  • C-suite executives in tourism, real estate, hospitality, policy and travel tech.

  • Government leaders shaping national tourism, innovation, and economic strategy.

  • Founders and scale-ups with proven traction.

  • Investors and partners focused on long-term value and national impact.

This summit is not for

  • Mass-market conference attendees.

  • Vendors chasing leads.

  • Early ideation with no execution pathway.

  • Anyone without decision-making power.

Founder's Letter · Diane Lloyd

Tourism has never lacked ideas.

Tourism has never lacked ideas however it has often lacked the right spaces to turn those ideas into action.

The Future Stay Summit was created to change that.

This is a high-trust, invitation-only gathering where leaders from government, industry, investment, and technology come together not just to talk about the future of tourism and accommodation, but to build it.

As technology evolves at speed, I find myself increasingly drawn to something timeless: human connection. The sparks of intuition, creativity, and shared understanding in a room are still what shape tomorrow’s world not slides or stages, but people working together with intent.

At its core, Future Stay Summit exists to answer a simple question: how do we build the future of tourism accommodation faster, smarter, and together?

The answer will come from trust between public and private sectors, clarity on what truly drives impact, and the willingness to make decisions that move ideas forward. This summit is designed to enable exactly that.

My role is to curate the right room, protect its focus, and create the conditions for meaningful progress.

That’s why every conversation here is designed to be focused, honest, and purposeful. This is not a conference it is a working space for decisions, collaboration, and progress.

The UAE provides the perfect backdrop: a place where ambition and innovation meet real-world execution.

If you are part of the Future Stay Summit, it is because you believe the future of tourism will not be defined by presentations but by collaboration, commitment, and execution.

I look forward to welcoming you.
