HotelRunner to Highlight AI-Powered Automation and Fintech-Enabled Distribution at ITB Berlin 2026

HotelRunner, the leading hospitality and travel technology provider, announces its participation in ITB Berlin 2026, one of the world’s most influential travel trade shows. The HotelRunner Team will be welcoming visitors at Hall 9, Stand 217a, at Messe Berlin between March 3–5, 2026.

HotelRunner is set to demonstrate how its AI-assisted, automation-focused platform helps hospitality professionals increase revenue, gain deeper insights, and scale operations with confidence at ITB Berlin. The end-to-end platform turns data into actionable insights, enabling businesses to respond faster to market changes, improve efficiency, and focus on strategic growth rather than day-to-day manual processes.

A key highlight of HotelRunner’s presence will be its fintech-enabled distribution solution network, combining HotelRunner Connect’s real-time connectivity and collaboration layer with Ruby’s embedded financial infrastructure built specifically for travel. While HotelRunner Connect enables travel agencies and accommodation partners to establish direct relationships, manage contracts, and access real-time inventory and pricing, Ruby seamlessly embeds payments, settlement, and compliance into this network. Together, they remove traditional friction from both distribution and finance, accelerating contracting, ensuring accurate and transparent payment flows, improving cash flow, and enabling businesses to scale globally with confidence.

This year, HotelRunner will contribute to a broader conversation about how hospitality is being redefined by intelligence, autonomy, and real-time decision-making. As the industry moves beyond static systems and manual processes, these gatherings become a catalyst for exploring how AI-powered automation and connected platforms can create self-optimizing operations, smarter distribution, and more personalized guest experiences. Their integrated approach transforms fragmented, manual processes into a connected ecosystem where distribution, payments, and insights work as one, creating a more efficient and growth-ready foundation for the global travel economy.

ITB Berlin offers HotelRunner a space to exchange ideas, strengthen strategic partnerships, and showcase how an intelligent, data-driven hospitality ecosystem can unlock sustainable growth and long-term value for the entire industry.

HotelRunner’s Founders and Managing Partners Arden Agopyan and Ali Beklen, along with Director of Demand Partnerships Rıza Kaynak, Director of Supply Partnerships Cihan Coşkuntuncel, Director of Engineering Yiğit Can Bacakoglu, and the expert HotelRunner Team will be present at Hall 9, Stand 217a to introduce HotelRunner’s latest innovations and discuss how AI-driven automation and fintech-enabled distribution are reshaping the future of the travel industry.
