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

OKKAMI has been invited by Schneider Electric to appear as a Guest Exhibitor in Abu Dhabi, where it will highlight 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 it will take part in the Innovation Summit Middle East & Africa 2026 as Schneider Electric’s Guest Exhibitor. The event will run September 15–16, 2026, at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi.

The gathering brings together corporate leaders, technology innovators, and decision-makers to examine how electrification, automation, digital technologies, and operational intelligence can shape smarter, more efficient, and more resilient built environments.

For OKKAMI, this is a chance to show how those technologies can be applied to hospitality by weaving together hotel IoT, building automation, property operations, and the digital guest journey.

As hotels move toward increased connectivity, systems that were historically separate—room controls, energy management, guest services, and hotel operations—are starting to converge. OKKAMI sees this convergence as the foundation for a new generation of intelligent properties, capable of responding in real time to both 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.

Linking Schneider Electric Technology and Hospitality
OKKAMI and Schneider Electric are working together to explore how connected building technologies can be more deeply integrated into hospitality operations and guest experiences.

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

This creates new potential for automation in areas such as room controls, environmental settings, energy management, and operational responses, all while giving guests a simpler, more personalized experience.

The aim is not merely to connect a larger number of devices, but to build an intelligent property ecosystem in which data drives meaningful action.

OKKAMI’s Hospitality IoT Demonstration
Chawarong Songserm, Senior Director of Engineering, will represent OKKAMI at the Innovation Summit and team up with Schneider Electric to present OKKAMI’s hospitality IoT capabilities.

The demonstration will highlight how connected technologies can bridge building automation, hotel operations, and digital guest services, helping properties achieve greater operational efficiency while delivering a smoother guest journey.

OKKAMI currently supports prototypes using Schneider Electric EcoStruxure and KNX for IoT connectivity and automation in hospitality environments.

These technologies create the groundwork for connecting smart-room components and building systems with the OKKAMI platform, so physical property events can be incorporated into digital workflows and guest experiences.

In the future, OKKAMI also plans to expand its IoT interoperability with BACnet support, allowing connectivity with a broader range of building management and operational systems used throughout hotels and large properties.

Smart Rooms Evolving Into Intelligent Hotels
Hospitality IoT has traditionally focused on isolated use cases like lighting, air conditioning, thermostats, curtains, and room controls.

OKKAMI sees the next stage as much broader.

When IoT, building automation, guest engagement, AI-driven workflows, and property intelligence are linked, hotels can create environments that understand what is happening across the physical property and the guest journey.

This can let properties automate repetitive workflows, improve energy efficiency, identify service needs, and provide staff with richer real-time operational information.

Instead of working as separate technology layers, hotel systems can increasingly become part of one connected hospitality ecosystem.

This direction supports OKKAMI’s wider Guest & Property Intelligence strategy: connecting guest data, property systems, service workflows, and automation so hotels can make better decisions and act through a unified technology layer.

Advancing Energy Innovation, Intelligence, and Resilience
The Innovation Summit Middle East & Africa 2026 theme, "Advancing Energy Tech to Power Intelligence and Resilience” reflects the increasing importance of turning energy and operational data into actionable intelligence.

For hospitality, that is a major opportunity.

Hotels manage complex physical spaces while coordinating thousands of digital and human interactions with guests and staff. Connecting these environments can help properties operate more efficiently, reduce wasted energy, automate processes, and deliver more personalized service.

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

Shaping Tomorrow’s Connected Property
For OKKAMI, the future of hospitality technology is not another standalone application.

It is a connected environment where guest intelligence, property intelligence, building technology, AI, and operational workflows work together.

The collaboration between Schneider Electric and OKKAMI is helping to explore how that future can be realized in hospitality by connecting the physical property with the digital guest experience.

Join OKKAMI and Schneider Electric at ADNEC, Abu Dhabi, on September 15–16, 2026, as we examine how IoT, automation, and property intelligence are influencing the future of smarter, more connected hospitality.
