Home of Hospitality 🍴 It's been fantastic to play host to the Annual Hospitality Conference (AHC) this week, welcoming hospitality professionals from across the UK to learn, network and be inspired. This year's event brought a fresh focus on renewed growth, offering enhanced opportunities across a broader spectrum of sectors including hotels, alternative living concepts, F&B, bars, pubs, restaurants, and much more. Our CEO, Lori Hoinkes, joined Paul Miller FCIM on our auditorium stage to chat about how event venues impact the local economy and drive business, something that's really important to us here as for every £1 spent at the venue, £6 is spent in Manchester. We're already excited to welcome Annual Hospitality Conference (AHC) back in 2025 and 2026 👏🏼
