When we looked at the networking activities at industry trade shows we recognized that finding a conducive networking environment with a point of difference was not easy. Our aim was to create an unique environment where guests and partners could enjoy an event experience supporting the opportunity for quality dialogue.

As a central element of Hi Society the partners look to give back to the global hospitality industry through fund raising efforts on behalf of Sala Bai Hotel School. Sala Bai Hotel School is located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. As a charity operation the mission of the school is to fight child poverty and trafficking, through education of young Cambodians as hoteliers.
Mark Fancourt noted, “We come from a fortunate industry and we’re excited to leverage our collective good fortune in support of an industry charity that is growing young hoteliers. It’s a valuable way that we can show our support with a project tightly aligned with our industry. For as little as $500 USD we are able to sponsor a students full education program. It is a truly life changing opportunity for these children”.
