A hero is coming to PERFORM: Meet Adventureman.

On April 16, 2026, Duetto will host PERFORM: the summit dedicated to revenue and profit performance for hotels in Hollywood Beach, Florida.

The event will move beyond traditional revenue management to tackle the defining challenge of our industry: driving smarter, sustainable profitability in an increasingly complex landscape. PERFORM will give hotel commercial leaders the insights and practical strategies to turn data into decisive action — and our keynote speaker will help you achieve the right mindset to bring your strategies to life with positivity and energy.

Jamie McDonald — known around the world as Adventureman — has spent his life redefining what's possible. At PERFORM, he'll share exactly what it takes to persevere when the pressure is on.

 

Jamie had a challenging start to life, in and out of hospital with a rare spinal condition and faced with the real possibility he'd never walk again. Against all odds, he became something of an adventurer in adult life, raising over £1 million for charity.

Since 2012, Jamie has pushed his body to its limits across a series of extraordinary challenges. His most notable include:

  • A grueling, and at times hostile, 14,000-mile bike ride from Bangkok to his home city of Gloucester — on a second-hand rusty bike.
  • Running 5,000 miles across Canada, crossing the Rockies in the depths of winter.
  • 5,500 miles around America, battling +50°C temperatures, rattlesnakes, and mountain lions.

Every challenge completed solo. And that's not all — Jamie has broken two of the hardest endurance world records: 12 days non-stop on a static bike, and 7 days running on a treadmill, all to raise as much as possible for sick children.

Jamie also founded, and volunteers at Ward Buddies, whose work ensures children facing long hospital stays are offered human connection to avoid feeling emotionally abandoned.

You don't want to miss Adventureman's keynote.

PERFORM will equip you with the insights and practical tools to raise your revenue and profit game. Jamie will bring something different: the mindset to stay sharp, push through uncertainty, and keep moving when conditions are hardest — all with a smile!

His keynote will energize attendees to:

  • Push beyond perceived limits.
  • Embrace bold decisions and transformation.
  • Build momentum when change feels uncertain.

Pushing limits is at the heart of unreal performance. This is a man who knows exactly what it takes to make the seemingly impossible, possible. Book your tickets below.
