Boutique Hotel Summit 2012 has confirmed leading design company yoo returns as sponsor, London May 21 and 22 2012

Boutique Hotel Summit, Europe's leading b2b conference for the boutique and lifestyle hotel sectors is delighted to confirm that world-renowned design company yoo is to sponsor the event for the second year running.

The conference, which launched last year, has identified a gap in the market for owners, operators, lenders and advisors involved in this vibrant and growing sector to learn, network and discuss the latest industry trends.

yoo chief executive Chris Boulton said: “The boutique hotel sector is still extremely buoyant, with a raft of new openings set for London this year, and a host of cutting-edge design hotels opening across the globe. Last year’s Boutique Hotel Summit was a great success, a very useful event which promotes innovation in this rapidly evolving market. We are delighted to return as sponsors, and look forward to another informative and enjoyable conference.”

Chris will be appearing on a seminar panel at the event, giving delegates the benefit of his industry experience.

Event organiser Piers Brown said: “Last year’s inaugural Boutique Hotel Summit exceeded our expectations, thanks to the warm reception it received from the hotel sector and the willingness of

globally renowned brands such as yoo to support the event. We’re excited to see our sponsors returning, and are determined to deliver an even better conference this year.”
