Where local insights meet global excellence

AltoVita presents the Smart, Safe and Sustainable Summit in an intimate regional event format designed to foster a community of thought leaders in the global mobility and business travel sectors. These smaller-scale regional summits are tailored to facilitate meaningful interactions among a curated group of professionals, from corporate travel managers to relocation experts, and industry innovators.

By participating in the Smart, Safe and Sustainable Summit, attendees not only contribute to the collective expertise of the community, but can also gain an in-depth understanding of AltoVita's local vision and its role in shaping the future of corporate accommodation. These events serve as a platform for AltoVita to present its forward-thinking approach and innovative solutions tailored to each specific region's needs.

This is an invite-only event to ensure all attendees share aligned values, face similar challenges, and can truly benefit from engaging with one another.
