Lisette Schäfer - Revenue Manager - Mövenpick Hotels

"Until about a year ago I really had no idea about the fact that obviously ‘pricing’ exists in more than just my work field in hotels and I was very unaware of how different branches handle pricing and setting strategies. I was eager to learn more about this and to get in touch with pricing professionals in different business fields and to hear more about processes in different branches through the workshops which is the main reason why I joined. Besides that, of course the networking environment is very important."
