Hospitality is one of our key human-first industries. Not just hotels, restaurants, or travel - but the idea itself. Making people feel seen, remembered, and treated as VIPs. Some of the most memorable moments in life come from great hospitality. That’s part of why this past weekend felt especially meaningful. Cerebral Valley partnered with the Rosewood Sand Hill - alongside Greycroft, Anthropic and ElevenLabs - to host Hospitality 2030. AI's first-ever luxury hospitality hackathon, in Silicon Valley's most iconic hotel. A curated room of 120 builders, founders and operators exploring what AI means for the future of human experience. Going in, we expected ideas around speed and efficiency. Instead, the best projects showcased the opposite: enhancing the core of human interaction. • helping staff better understand guests • creating more thoughtful moments • remembering context and preferences over time • anticipating needs before they’re expressed Luxury is about attention to detail and human connection. This weekend showed that AI can strengthen luxury when new technology stays invisible. Incredible seeing what builders were able to create in just a few hours. Huge thank you to Rosewood and everyone who helped bring this one to life. A special thanks to Philip Meyer (Regional VP & Managing Director), Kevin Yung (CFO) and Radha Arora (President) for being so receptive to hosting a hackathon at their world-famous property. Plus, to Chiraag Deora and the Greycroft team for helping drive this home. Excited for what comes next!
