## About This Program

> "Innovative hospitality products that improve hotel design, operations, or the guest experience"

As Radical Innovation celebrates its 20th Anniversary, our mission remains to discover and support ideas that shape the future of hospitality. Entries should showcase an innovative hospitality product that improves hotel design, operations, or the guest experience. Examples include guestrooms, F&B concepts, amenity spaces, FF&E, materials, wellness or sustainability solutions, and operational tools.

Pure technology solutions (software, platforms, AI, hardware-driven systems) should be submitted under the Technology category.

In the submission process, submit the following attachments:
1. A compelling presentation (PPT or PDF) that effectively communicates the product concept, its significance, and the potential impact.
2. Detailed sketches, renderings, and/or a video of a 3D model illustrating the product.

What the judges are looking for:
- Hospitality-Relevant: Is the idea clearly rooted in hospitality and meaningful to guests, operators, owners, or communities?
- Innovative: Does it introduce new thinking that advances how hospitality is designed, delivered, or experienced?
- Impactful: Will it create measurable value through improved guest experience, operational efficiency, sustainability, or business performance?
- Feasible & Scalable: Is there a realistic path to implementation, and could the idea be applied across multiple properties or markets?
- Clear & Compelling: Is the concept clearly explained and professionally presented so its value is easy to understand?
- Judges will also consider product design quality, materials, manufacturability, durability, and the path to production or market adoption.
