The Future of Hospitality Workplaces - Industry Breakfast & Panel Discussion

The Future of Hospitality Workplaces

Industry Breakfast & Panel Discussion

Join hospitality leaders for an exclusive industry breakfast and thought-provoking panel discussion inspired by the findings of the VERiFAIR Workplace Survey 2026.

Based on the views of over 3,000 hospitality professionals, the survey provides one of the most comprehensive independent snapshots of workplace culture across the UK hospitality industry. One month after the publication of the report, this event brings together respected hospitality leaders to explore what the findings mean for our industry and, more importantly, what meaningful change looks like for the future.

The discussion will explore:

• The key findings from the VERiFAIR Workplace Survey 2026
• What the results tell us about workplace culture in hospitality today
• Where the industry is making progress
• The challenges that still need to be addressed
• Practical actions employers can take to build better workplaces
• How we create a stronger, more sustainable future for hospitality

Whether you’re a restaurant owner, hotel operator, chef, HR professional, supplier or hospitality leader, this event offers a unique opportunity to hear from respected voices across the industry, contribute to the conversation and network with fellow professionals over breakfast.
