We are delighted to announce that our hospitality industry champion, Kate Nicholls from UK Hospitality, will be joining us at the studio within the Royal Lancaster London for a live interview with Mark Lewis from Hospitality Action on 19th November.

HOSPACE 2020 will be a Hybrid conference, mixing live with virtual. We will retain many of the features that have made HOSPACE such a success in past years whilst taking advantage of the new technology being used this year - to the benefit of operators and sponsors alike. This means that we will run the live event as usual at the Royal Lancaster London whilst simultaneously broadcasting the content online for our virtual attendees.

​There will be a similar programme to last year's event, with plenary sessions, presentations and a live panel discussion after each keynote speech. We will also run workshops with online break-outs.

One of the core strengths of HOSPACE is the networking. We plan to continue this as much as we always do by offering a networking lounge at the virtual event, with chat rooms, discussions and one-to-one meetings. Through a dedicated networking page we will offer the opportunity to conduct live video chats as well as text-based messaging with like-minded industry professionals. This can be scheduled throughout the event. In exchange for free attendance operators will be scheduled to meet with a number of sponsors (selected by them, in advance) during the conference.
