Schneider Electric Invites OKKAMI as Guest Exhibitor at Innovation Summit Middle East & Africa 2026

Schneider Electric has extended a Guest Exhibitor invitation to OKKAMI in Abu Dhabi, where the company will showcase hospitality IoT, automation, and connected property technology.

Being invited by Schneider Electric to participate as a Guest Exhibitor at the Innovation Summit is an important opportunity for OKKAMI”— Antony Goddard. NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OKKAMI, a Guest & Property Intelligence platform for hospitality and connected properties, announced today that Schneider Electric has invited it to appear as a Guest Exhibitor at the Innovation Summit Middle East & Africa 2026, set to take place at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi from September 15 to 16, 2026.

The event assembles business leaders, technology innovators, and decision-makers to examine how electrification, automation, digital technologies, and operational intelligence can help build smarter, more efficient, and more resilient environments.

For OKKAMI, the summit provides a chance to show how these technologies can be put to work in hospitality, linking hotel IoT, building automation, property operations, and the digital guest journey.

With hotels increasingly embracing connected technologies, systems that once operated independently—room controls, energy management, guest services, and hotel operations—are starting to merge. OKKAMI views this shift as the groundwork for a new wave of intelligent properties, where systems adapt in real time to property conditions and guest needs.

“Hospitality technology is moving beyond individual applications and disconnected systems. The opportunity now is to bring guest intelligence, property intelligence, IoT and automation together so the property itself becomes more responsive, efficient and intelligent,” said Antony Goddard of OKKAMI.

Bridging Schneider Electric Technology and Hospitality
OKKAMI and Schneider Electric are collaborating to investigate how connected building technologies can be woven more closely into hospitality operations and guest experiences.

By pairing Schneider Electric’s strengths in energy management, automation, and connected infrastructure with OKKAMI’s hospitality technology platform, hotels can link physical property systems to digital guest interactions and operational workflows.

That opens up ways to automate room controls, environmental settings, energy management, and operational responses, while giving guests a smoother and more customized experience.

The aim goes beyond just adding more connected devices—it is to build an intelligent property ecosystem capable of turning data into meaningful actions.

OKKAMI to Showcase Hospitality IoT
At the Innovation Summit, OKKAMI will be represented by Chawarong Songserm, Senior Director of Engineering, who will team up with Schneider Electric to present OKKAMI’s hospitality IoT capabilities.

The live demonstration will illustrate how connected technologies can span building automation, hotel operations, and digital guest services, boosting operational efficiency and creating a smoother guest journey.

At present, OKKAMI supports prototypes built on Schneider Electric EcoStruxure and KNX for IoT connectivity and automation in hospitality settings.

These technologies lay the groundwork for linking smart-room components and building systems to the OKKAMI platform, so events in the physical property can become part of digital workflows and guest experiences.

Looking forward, OKKAMI intends to widen its IoT interoperability through BACnet support, allowing connections with a wider array of building management and operational systems used in hotels and large properties.

Beyond Smart Rooms: Toward Intelligent Hotels
In hospitality, IoT has traditionally centered on specific use cases like lighting, air conditioning, thermostats, curtains, and room controls.

OKKAMI believes the next phase is far wider in scope.

By bringing together IoT, building automation, guest engagement, AI-driven workflows, and property intelligence, hotels can build environments that grasp what is taking place across the physical property and the guest journey.

This enables properties to automate routine tasks, boost energy efficiency, spot service needs, and give hotel staff more accurate operational insights in real time.

Instead of functioning as siloed technology layers, hotel systems can increasingly become part of an integrated hospitality ecosystem.

This approach advances OKKAMI’s wider Guest & Property Intelligence strategy, which connects guest data, property systems, service workflows, and automation so hotels can make better decisions and act through a single technology layer.

Driving Energy Technology, Intelligence, and Resilience
The Innovation Summit Middle East & Africa 2026 takes its theme, "Advancing Energy Tech to Power Intelligence and Resilience” from the growing need to turn energy and operational data into actionable intelligence.

For the hospitality sector, this is a major opportunity.

Hotels run sophisticated physical environments while at the same time handling thousands of digital and human interactions with guests and staff. Linking these environments can allow properties to work more efficiently, cut wasted energy, automate operations, and offer more tailored services.

At the Summit, OKKAMI’s presence will show how this wider technology shift can be applied specifically to hotels, resorts, residences, and connected properties.

Building the Next-Generation Connected Property
For OKKAMI, the future of hospitality technology is not another isolated application.

Rather, it is a connected ecosystem in which guest intelligence, property intelligence, building technology, AI, and operational workflows function together.

The partnership between Schneider Electric and OKKAMI is helping examine how that future can become a reality in hospitality, linking the physical property to the digital guest experience.

OKKAMI and Schneider Electric invite you to ADNEC in Abu Dhabi on September 15–16, 2026, where they will explore how IoT, automation, and property intelligence are defining the future of smarter, more connected hospitality.

OKKAMI at a Glance
OKKAMI is a Guest & Property Intelligence platform built for hospitality and connected properties. It combines guest engagement, digital guest journeys, AI, service orchestration, smart property technology, IoT integrations, and property intelligence to help hotels connect guests, staff, services, and systems.

By linking digital guest experiences to hotel operations and property infrastructure, OKKAMI enables hospitality operators to build smarter, more automated, and more responsive environments.
