The Equipotel 2026 event in São Paulo has showcased a significant industry shift toward integrated technological ecosystems and specialized training within the hospitality sector. Initial developments focused on the move away from isolated tools toward interconnected systems using artificial intelligence and open protocols. Companies like APP Sistemas demonstrated cloud-based management platforms designed for AI connectivity, while Vingcard | ASSA ABLOY highlighted the coordination of access control and automation to reduce manual tasks. Subsequent announcements expanded the scope to include educational and specialized AI tools. A partnership between Real Hospitality Academy and Hub ESG Hotel Business was established to provide training in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. Additionally, Foco Tecnologia launched ‘Otheo AI’, a robot-concierge utilizing natural language processing to assist managers with financial reporting, rate modifications, and availability checks. Foco Tecnologia also introduced a new tax invoice module for its Rooms platform to streamline fiscal management. The event further expanded its scope with the opening of ‘Arena Conexões’ at Expo Center Norte. Curated by Resorts Brasile and GKS Inteligência Territorial, this forum brings together industry leaders to discuss tourism transformation, data intelligence, and public policies. Discussions at the arena have emphasized the necessity of integrating sustainability and innovation into practical business operations, while also addressing urban transformations in central São Paulo.
