Hospitality Symposium 2019

I am very happy to be able to announce our confirmed line-up of speakers for our SBS Hospitality Symposium 2019, which we are hosting at Sheffield Hallam University on Wednesday 3rd April 2019.

We are starting the day with an engaging mini-conference on the theme of ‘Sustainability in Hospitality’, which will include a series of talks from industry leaders on the subject of sustainability. This should prove to be a most valuable few hours of knowledge sharing on how hospitality businesses can achieve and benefit from greater levels of sustainability. Our fantastic line up of speakers for the morning conference includes:

Challenges and solutions to sustainable hotel operations (working title)

• Paulina Godfrey – Director Energy & Environment Engineering Operations EMEA, Hilton Worldwide

Challenges and solutions to sustainable restaurant operations (working title)

• Hannah Plumb – Head of Restaurant Operations, The Alchemist Bars & Restaurants
• Paul Mitchell – Head of Property, The Alchemist Bars & Restaurants

Panel Discussion – The future of sustainable hospitality: What the managers of tomorrow need to know

• Steven Henderson – Group Chief Commercial & Strategy Officer, Hashoo Group
• Jane Sunley – Chairman and Founder, Purple Cubed
• Paulina Godfrey – Director Energy & Environment Engineering Operations EMEA, Hilton
• Hannah Plumb – Head of Restaurant Operations, The Alchemist Bars & Restaurants
• Paul Mitchell – Head of Property, The Alchemist Bars & Restaurants

A networking lunch will be provided and then the afternoon will consist of an interactive exhibition put on by our final year students to showcase their most recent consultancy projects which they have been working on for some of our industry partners, across various business functions. It should all make for a very interesting day.

There is no fee to attend the event, but places must be booked in advance and we need to limit places to 2-3 places per organisation. All we ask from our hospitality industry partners wishing to come is to attend the full day and to engage in the fascinating and interesting discussions throughout the day!

Registration and coffee will be from 9.30am and the event will finish by 5.00pm.
