Join us in celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Radical Innovation, where we remain dedicated to unearthing and nurturing groundbreaking ideas that redefine the future of hospitality. We invite you to present an innovative hospitality product that enhances hotel design, streamlines operations, or elevates the guest experience. Your submission could redefine guestrooms, food and beverage concepts, amenity spaces, furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), materials, wellness initiatives, sustainability solutions, or operational tools.
For those focusing purely on technology solutions, such as software, platforms, AI, or hardware systems, please apply under the Technology category.
When submitting your idea, ensure you include:
- A persuasive presentation (PPT or PDF) that articulates your product concept, its significance, and its potential impact.
- Detailed sketches, renderings, or a video of a 3D model to visualize your product.
Criteria for Judging
Entries will be evaluated based on the following:
- Hospitality-Relevant: Does the idea align with hospitality needs and resonate with guests, operators, owners, or communities?
- Innovative: Does it offer fresh perspectives that enhance hospitality design, delivery, or experience?
- Impactful: Can it create tangible improvements in guest experience, operational efficiency, sustainability, or business outcomes?
- Feasible & Scalable: Is there a viable path for implementation, and can the idea be extended across various properties or markets?
- Clear & Compelling: Is the concept communicated clearly and professionally, making its value accessible and understandable?
Judges will also assess the quality of product design, material selection, manufacturability, durability, and the strategy for production or market entry.
