The Future of Leadership
2026-09-30 18:00 - 23:30 (Europe/Madrid) | Zoku Vienna, Perspektivstraße 6, Vienna, 1020
Human Before Excellent

September 2026 @ 18:00 – 23:30 · Vienna

This gathering is part of the Hospitality Leaders Club, our international community for hotel and F&B professionals who believe in a more human, emotionally intelligent and future-driven form of leadership.

Hospitality is evolving faster than ever.Technology accelerates. Guest expectations rise. Teams carry invisible emotional weight.And leaders, caught between operational pressure and human complexity, are expected to remain calm, present, wise and endlessly resilient.

The reality is simple.The future of hospitality will not be built by the most knowledgeable leaders.It will be built by the most human ones.

This After-Hours event is an intimate, high-quality evening for leaders who want to explore what modern leadership looks like when humanity comes first. It is crafted for professionals who believe that excellence without emotional intelligence is no longer excellence at all.

This is not a conversation about leadership frameworks.It is a conversation about presence.About emotional maturity.About the courage to lead with clarity, care and coherence.

You will meet leaders who care deeply about their teams.People who want to grow.Professionals who understand that the future of leadership begins with the inner world of the leader.

An identity-blind recruitment & leadership summit for the hospitality industry.

The Masked Talent Summit™ introduces a new era of hospitality recruitment and human connection.Across three days, talent and employers meet behind masks to remove visual bias, elevate true potential and build relationships based on values, competence and human presence—not appearance.

This is a boutique, theatrical and deeply human summit designed to create:

Better opportunities for talent at all levels.

Fair, bias-aware hiring processes for hospitality employers.

Stronger, more meaningful professional relationships.

A more sustainable and purpose-driven hospitality sector.

Who is this summit for?

Hospitality Talent – All Levels (Day 1–3)

From students to senior leaders, all hospitality professionals are welcome:

Students & recent graduates

Frontline & operational staff

Supervisors & team leaders

Mid-level professionals preparing for their next step

Senior managers & high-level hospitality leaders

Career-changers entering hospitality with transferable skills

Every participant benefits from the development sessions, the masked encounters and the curated interview opportunities.

Hospitality Employers & Decision-Makers (Day 2–3)

Ideal for organisations seeking prepared, value-aligned talent:

General Managers & Hotel Directors

HR, People & Culture & Talent Acquisition leaders

F&B, Rooms, Front Office & Operations executives

Boutique properties, hotel groups & luxury brands

Talent consultants & employer branding professionals

What happens across the three days?

DAY 1 — Talent-Only Development Day

A full day dedicated to preparing talent—at all levels—to show their best self with clarity, confidence and purpose.

Soft Skills & Human Skills Training

Communication, confidence and presence in hospitality contexts.

Emotional intelligence and authentic professional behaviour.

How to show who you truly are, not who you think you “must” be.

LinkedIn Profile Lab

Transform your LinkedIn page into a powerful professional identity.

Headlines, summaries, keywords and storytelling that attract employers.

Make your profile more discoverable, attractive and trustworthy.

Wellbeing: Take responsibility for your own health and learn how to contribute to healthy team dynamics.

Brand Ambassador: Represent your company with pride and authenticity—without losing your own voice.

Day 1 ensures every participant enters the masked experience confident, prepared and aware of their value.

DAY 2 — Masked Encounters & Human Connection

The day where talent and employers meet—with masks, without visual bias.

Both sides wear masks to ensure that the first impression is based on voice, ideas, behaviours and values—not appearance.

Identity-Blind Networking & Team-Building

Guided networking where no one initially knows who is talent or employer.

Elegant, human-centred activities designed to reveal personality, thinking and attitude.

Everyone interacts as equals: a person first, a role second.

Connection Circles & Meaningful Conversations

Small-group discussions around leadership, service, culture and growth.

Employers and talent share real experiences and expectations.

A safe environment where honesty is encouraged and appreciated.

The Reveal

At the end of Day 2, masks come off in a respectful, theatrical moment:

Identities are revealed.

Employers meet the people they connected with earlier—now with full context.

Surprising, powerful matches often emerge because bias was removed from the first contact.

DAY 3 — Private Interviews, Employer Showcases & Professional Alignment

A full day focused on turning human connection into real opportunities.

The day begins with a warm welcome and open networking, allowing participants to reconnect without masks and pick up conversations from Day 2.

You provide a clear overview of all employers:

who they are

the roles they are hiring for

their employer promise

their culture and expectations

Then, talent and employers enter a structured sequence of:

Employer-Led Roundtables

Small-group sessions where each employer becomes the expert at the table.They present their organisation, discuss their hiring needs, answer questions and meet talent who is genuinely interested in their opportunities.These sessions rotate, allowing participants to explore several employers and roles.

Private Interview Sessions

Select employers conduct private interviews with pre-matched candidates.These are short, intentional meetings designed to clarify fit, explore roles in depth and identify potential collaboration or hiring pathways.

The day concludes with a final networking moment—warm, celebratory and human—closing the summit with clarity, optimism and concrete next steps.

Outcomes for Talent

A stronger, more confident professional identity.

A polished and market-ready LinkedIn profile.

A more strategic and attractive CV.

The chance to be seen for who you are—not how you look.
