Lost in Translation: The US & UK Accommodation Conversation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
While the US and UK may share a language, the way we approach corporate accommodation, client expectations, supplier relationships, and internal processes can be very different. Too often, those nuances get lost in translation.
This session is designed to unpack these differences in a light, open, and conversational way. Through real-world examples, friendly transatlantic debate, and audience interaction, our Situ hosts and guest speakers will explore how each market operates in practice, where models differ, where they overlap, and what each side can learn from the other.
What we'll cover:
- Key differences between the US and UK accommodation sectors, and what they mean in practice.
- Terminology, processes, and expectations that don’t always translate across markets.
- How extended stay and corporate accommodation is managed, booked, and marketed on each side of the Atlantic.
- Where the two models overlap, and where they could borrow ideas from each other.
