What can you expect?
Powered by International Hospitality Media, we are proud to offer the hospitality and real estate community a different offering to a normal conference event.
And with RECHARGE, we take it one step further.
Gone are the days of sitting in a dimly lit conference room with powerpoint presentations for hours on end.
We value your learning, time and presence so we offer a 2-day experience OF LEARNING, NETWORKING and IMMERSING YOURSELF IN THE HOST CITY.
Day One sees us touring our destination city, Porto. We visit 3-4 different properties from across the asset classes and get a chance to really explore the city and unlock the neighbourhood. Plus we throw in some tourist attraction themed fun.. with this year boasting the option to taste some Port... not forgetting our essential night cap and visiting some of the local nightlife hubs.
Day Two opens with a yoga session or a 5km run around the city, before opening up to our conference.
Sessions are 'short and punchy' in a Pecha Kucha format - 20 seconds per slide with a maximum of 20 slides - to keep things moving fast.
There's plenty of audience engagement with some great networking incentives such as happy hour drinks!
We’ve put together some handy hints and tips to ensure you make the most of RECHARGE:
- Keep an eye on the schedule timings on the run up to the event as these are subject to change
- Take a look at the RECHARGERS attending in advance, and schedule pre – arranged appointments to use your time effectively
- Follow the conference #IHMRECHARGE social feed to keep engaged pre / during and post the event
- Take a look at your hosts profiles and LinkedIn for more background – it’s a great way to put a name to a face in advance
- Wear comfortable shoes!
- Remember your business cards as there are lots of opportunities for networking
- Keep an eye out for great competition and incentives we have at the event
We also encourage you to make the most of the beautiful city of Porto and our hosts Feel Porto have kindly put together some discounts/recommendations for you to do just that. Make a weekend of it and then join us on Monday 27 January and Tuesday 28 January for the RECHARGE experience.
It’s Friday evening, and you’ve just arrived in Porto, the vibrant city that will host RECHARGE2025. The sun is setting, casting a golden glow over the Douro River.....
Your weekend of exploration, inspiration, and indulgence begins now.
Saturday morning, you’re strolling through the cobblestone streets of Porto’s historic centre, marvelling at the blue-tiled façades of its iconic buildings. A freshly brewed espresso and a pastel de nata from a quaint café awaken your senses, readying you for a day of discovery.
By afternoon, you’re cruising along the Douro River on a Port Wine Tasting Boat Tour with Sailing 360. As you sip on a glass of rich, velvety port, the city’s stunning bridges and riverside architecture create the perfect backdrop. With a 20% discount for RECHARGE attendees, this nautical experience is not to be missed.
Sunday brings a new adventure. Perhaps you venture out to the serene Douro Valley or the rugged beauty of the Arouca region, using your 15% discount with Feel Discovery to book a holiday home nestled in nature. Whether it’s hiking through verdant landscapes or savouring the region’s renowned wines, the day offers a tranquil balance to the city’s energetic vibe.
By Monday, you're ready to immerse yourself in RECHARGE 2025.
