The event for hospitality leaders returns to 30 Euston Square, London on 4 March 2025.

The programme brings together an unrivalled roster of business leaders, specialists and experts from across hospitality and the wider supply sector to share insights and data. Together we will debate the issues and priorities and explore practical solutions.
 

State of Play | Climate, Consumers, Teams and Boards

Summit hosts Peter Martin and Mark Stretton draw on data, insights and initiatives from across hospitality and wider business to highlight the immediate climate and environmental challenges, how hospitality has already moved the sustainability dial, and the what it needs to do next
 

Why it matters: The Business Case 

Why are businesses from across the sector so committed to sustainability?

Keynote: Farming Reimagined

Former TV and radio presenter and co-founder of WildFarmed George Lamb shares his transformative journey from Big Brother to the forefront of regenerative farming, challenging established food system thinking, disrupting supply chains and partnering with restaurant businesses along the way.
 

What business wants from Government

Whitehall may set the legislative agenda for sustainability, but business will make it happen. So how can hospitality better shape policy and ensure the investment in national infrastructure happens? And what incentives might we expect from our political leaders?
