Virtual Event
Building a business case for hotel technology investment
Wednesday, September 2, 2026
Virtual Event
Budget season isn't about buying more tech. It's about who wins the argument for the same dollar.
Every year, revenue and marketing build separate cases for the same budget, and both walk into the room speaking a different language to the people who sign off. That's not a funding problem. That's a planning problem.
Join Duetto and Triptease for a live session on why revenue strategy and marketing investment should be planned together, not pitched separately and hoped into alignment.
Date: Wednesday, September 2 , 2026
Duration: 45 minutes
Time: 3:00 p.m. CEST
What you’ll learn:
-
- What's actually driving budget scrutiny this year: Why ownership and boards are asking harder questions of revenue and marketing leaders than they have in previous cycles, and what that means for how you build your case.
- How to build an investment case that survives the room: The difference between a case that gets funded and one that gets sent back for "more detail," and how to close that gap before you present.
- Why pricing and marketing decisions should never be made in isolation: A real example of what happens when demand signals and booking decisions talk to each other, and why "connected" beats "coordinated" every time.
- What's actually driving budget scrutiny this year: Why ownership and boards are asking harder questions of revenue and marketing leaders than they have in previous cycles, and what that means for how you build your case.
