In 2026, we’re exploring The Hospitality Equation and the many variables that come together to deliver successful hospitality projects.

We’ll be touring new hotels that have nailed the equation and hearing from investors, developers, owners, operators, designers and decision-makers who add value to the mix.

  • "The Festival is one of the best networking environments in the sector. The mix of people and the openness in the room make it easy to have real conversations that make the whole experience enjoyable."

    Steve Walford - Cedar Capital Partners

  • "The biggest value for me is hearing such a mix of voices and having developers, designers and operators all in one place. The discussions feel more dynamic and give a much richer view of the industry."

    Jessica Morrison - GA

  • "The access to new hotels before they open is incredibly useful. Walking the spaces in person gives unique insights that you just can’t get from a panel session or a typical ballroom event."

    Neil Holland - Hamilton Pyramid Europe

  • "What makes the Festival stand out for me is how much you learn just by being in the room with the people who build and shape these projects. It feels like a true community where people share knowledge freely."

    Adam Mursal - Pillar Consulting

  • "The Festival of Hospitality has a genuinely friendly, relaxed atmosphere that makes meeting people feel natural. It’s a world away from the dry, formal events you often see in the sector."

    Danny Hazlehurst - THAT Group

  • "The Festival of Hospitality answers a need I’m not sure many hospitality people were aware they had – filling a gap between trade fair and investment conference. The capacity of this format for learning and growth is significant, and it fosters a genuine sense of community in the industry."

    Nick de Klerk - Purcell

  • "Thank you for the fantastic events! I’ve attended 5-6 and gained valuable insights that I can actively apply to my business... alongside going on some great tours and meeting some great people."

    James Fry - Beyond Aparthotels
