London date for leading hospitality summit
A range of key hospitality industry leaders are set to meet at this year’s Summit for hospitality & tourism, to be held in London on 6 June.
This year’s event comes at a critical time for the industry and will be hosted by Principal Hotel Company at the Grand Connaught Rooms.
The renowned yearly conference falls at an unprecedented time following Brexit and other industry-wide challenges and issues, and is expected to attract a much wider representation of the sector.
It will provide specialist high level summits applying industry focus on the restaurant, aviation, distribution, technology and serviced apartment sectors with the hospitality framework.
The Summit brings together the British Hospitality Association (BHA), Global Restaurant Investment Forum (GRIF), Serviced Apartment Summit, Hotel Distribution Event, AviaDev and the Airport Operators Association.
Ufi Ibrahim, chief executive of the BHA said: “The Summit is the leading platform for business leaders to exchange lessons learned and to explore opportunities for collaboration with government for the advancement of our industry and the economy.”
