YEAR-LONG FESTIVAL OF EVENTS THAT CELEBRATES THE PEOPLE AND SPACES SHAPING THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

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.

We have a limited number of Annual Festival Passes available this year. Please apply via the Tickets page and we will let you know if any spaces become available. Otherwise sign up for the mailing list to find out when we release tickets to each event.

"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."
