Schneider Electric names OKKAMI as guest exhibitor for Abu Dhabi summit

Schneider Electric has invited OKKAMI to exhibit at Innovation Summit Middle East & Africa 2026 in Abu Dhabi on Sept. 15-16, where the hospitality tech firm will show how IoT, automation and connected property systems can reshape hotel operations and guest experiences. The partnership spotlights a push to link building technology with the digital guest journey across hotels and connected properties.

Why it matters: - The invitation gives OKKAMI a platform to show how hospitality IoT can move beyond single-use tools and into connected property operations. - The collaboration highlights a broader shift in hotels toward systems that combine energy management, automation, guest services and operational workflows. - Schneider Electric’s summit theme, “Advancing Energy Tech to Power Intelligence and Resilience,” aligns with hotel efforts to turn operational data into action.

What happened: - Schneider Electric invited OKKAMI to participate as a Guest Exhibitor at Innovation Summit Middle East & Africa 2026. - The event takes place at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi on Sept. 15-16, 2026. - OKKAMI said the summit will let the company demonstrate hospitality applications for IoT, automation and connected property technology. - Chawarong Songserm, OKKAMI’s Senior Director of Engineering, will join Schneider Electric at the event.

The details: - The Summit will bring together business leaders, technology innovators and decision-makers. - The event will focus on electrification, automation, digital technologies and operational intelligence. - OKKAMI’s demonstration will show how connected technologies can link building automation, hotel operations and digital guest services. - OKKAMI currently supports prototypes using Schneider Electric EcoStruxure and KNX for IoT connectivity and automation in hospitality environments. - Those technologies help connect smart-room components and building systems with the OKKAMI platform. - OKKAMI plans to expand IoT interoperability with BACnet support to connect with more building management and operational systems used in hotels and large properties. - The company’s platform combines guest engagement, digital guest journeys, AI, service orchestration, smart property technology, IoT integrations and property intelligence. - OKKAMI says the platform is designed to help hotels connect guests, staff, services and systems. - Schneider Electric brings energy management, building automation and connected infrastructure expertise to the collaboration. - The partnership is aimed at connecting physical property systems with digital guest interactions and operational workflows. - The companies say that approach can automate room controls, environmental settings, energy management and operational responses. - The collaboration also aims to make the guest experience simpler and more personalized. - OKKAMI says the goal is to turn data into meaningful actions rather than simply connect more devices. - For more information, visit OKKAMI.

Between the lines: - The hospitality tech pitch here is shifting from smart rooms to whole-property intelligence. - That matters because hotels run complex physical operations while also managing constant guest and staff interactions. - If connected systems can share data across building controls and service workflows, hotels may gain faster response times, lower energy use and better visibility for staff. - The summit placement also signals that hospitality is being positioned as part of the wider industrial and energy-tech conversation, not a separate niche.

What's next: - OKKAMI will use the Abu Dhabi summit to present its hospitality IoT capabilities with Schneider Electric. - The company is expected to continue exploring deeper interoperability across building and operational systems. - OKKAMI says the broader strategy is to build connected property environments where guest intelligence, property intelligence, building technology, AI and workflows operate together. - The partnership is likely to keep testing how hotel operators can turn property data into automated service and energy decisions.

The bottom line: - OKKAMI’s summit role is a showcase for a bigger industry trend: hotels are moving toward integrated systems that connect guest experience, operations and building infrastructure in one layer.
