LONDON, UK – Over the years, AltoVita’s events have evolved into essential platforms to discuss the latest trends in corporate accommodation, talent mobility and business travel. Technology will take centre stage at the Smart, Safe, Sustainable Summit in London on July 9. More specifically, this annual flagship event will uncover why sourcing and booking accommodation has become so expensive and complicated, at a time when businesses are looking for ways to reduce costs and improve the overall travel experience.
This year AltoVita’s Summit welcome so many industry leaders, who will be talking to more than 120 industry professionals at the Rose Court in London’s Southwark on July 9, during the fourth annual summit.

A strategic thinker with deep expertise in the global travel industry, Souhilla has more than 15 years’ experience building and managing travel programmes, and previously worked at Amazon and PepsiCo. Originally from France, she has been based out of the UAE since 2016 and is focusing on travel technology innovation and sustainability.
Diogo Matos, Global Mobility Services Manager, Solvay
Diogo is welcomed back to the summit after his appearance at last year’s event. Based in Portugal, Diogo is currently leading the business’s mobility programme and spearheading new travel integrations as the organisation undergoes transformation.

A new speaker for AltoVita, Cheryl will share her insights by drawing on considerable experience of more than 20 years at relocation expert Cartus.
