Webinar: Unlocking the Potential of the Hotel Sector
Our 20th webinar together with our co-hosts HVS, AlixPartners & EP Business in Hospitality returned to our original theme of 'Unlocking the Potential of the Hotel Sector'. We discussed the future of the hotel industry, covering influential factors such as current global affairs, sustainability, labour costs, tourism, inflation and much more.
Our guest speaker Kate Nicholls OBE, CEO of UK Hospitality, shared her views as to where the country’s hospitality sector is heading. The following leading sector experts also gave us their own unique perspectives:
- Tom Emanuel – STR
- Ian Livingstone – London & Regional Properties
- Coley Brenan – KSL Capital Partners
- Jan Hazelton – Kerzner International
- David Kellett – Invesco Real Estate
We finished the event with a lively panel discussion between Karen Friebe (Head of Hotels, Hospitality & Leisure, Bird & Bird); Russell Kett (Chairman, HVS) and Graeme Smith (Managing Director, AlixPartners), which was moderated by James Fowler of Bird & Bird.
A huge thank you to our speakers who shared their knowledge and expertise with us, to everyone who joined us online and also to the previous speakers who joined us in person at the event.
