Roundtable
Open
For founders, CEOs and MDs of hospitality and competitive socialising businesses. Where the market is heading in 2027, and how operators are using AI to improve the guest experience and protect margins.
Business insights
Costs are rising, good staff are hard to keep and customer habits keep changing. Every supplier now has an AI pitch, but few operators have seen where it actually improves the guest experience or protects margin. This morning brings peers together to compare notes.
Who it’s for
Founders, CEOs and managing directors of hospitality and competitive socialising businesses.
The morning
8:30 arrival and coffee. 9:00 welcome and a guided coffee tasting. Then two short keynotes. Jacob Beckett, co-founder of Re-venue, on how the market is shifting in 2027 and the challenges facing operators. Si Wilkinson on where the sector is heading. Open discussion round the table follows, and we close at 11:00.
Off the record. An open conversation, not a stage and a slide deck. Seats are confirmed personally.
Key discussion points
See where 2027 is heading before your competitors do: how the hospitality and competitive socialising market is shifting, and what it means for your venues
Practical AI ideas you can use: real examples of operators using AI to improve the guest experience and protect margins

Ask the questions you can’t ask at a trade show
This morning is open to 15 founders, CEOs and MDs of hospitality and competitive socialising businesses. Seats are confirmed personally.
