An AI Wake-Up Call for Canadian GMs, AGMs, and Hotel Managers. Just finished preparing a presentation for the below conference by Big Picture Conferences Inc. that bridges the gap between AI hype and operational reality in hotels. Unlike my usual talks on associate skills multipliers, this one takes a fresh angle. While commercial teams are racing ahead with AI adoption, many operational leaders remain skeptical. But here’s the very exciting part. AI isn’t just a productivity tool, it’s a facilitator of improved guest experiences, staff empowerment, and service delivery. It helps GMs think more comprehensively about challenges and make smarter decisions. This last point is huge and where I will spend the bulk of my time. I will show GMs how to use this technology to help them think. To my fellow hospitality leaders. The AI train isn’t just leaving the station It’s accelerating. Those who embrace it now will shape the future of guest experience. Those who wait? Well, we’ve seen how that story ends. Let’s connect if you’re ready to explore how AI can transform your operations. I co-lead the AI for Hospitality practice at Growth Advisors International Network - GAIN with Vincent Somsen. The overall team is lead by Michael C. Cohen. DM any of us. We are here to help you move into 2025. Remember to budget for AI Literacy in 2025!
