UKHospitality is set to welcome business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng as the headline speaker at its upcoming annual conference.
Kwarteng will join a “stellar” line-up of sector leaders on the day, including Paul Pomroy, CEO of McDonalds UK, Karin Shepard, European MD of InterContinental Hotels Group and Nick Mackenzie, CEO of Greene King.
UKH said the conference will give its members an opportunity to meet in person, catch up and “join the conversation with many of the leading lights of the UK’s hospitality sector”.
UKHospitality CEO Kate Nicholls will “give her take” on the state of the sector after 18 gruelling months and update on the challenges, opportunities and plans to help drive recovery throughout the sector.
The agenda is said to be bolstered by exclusive new research from industry analysts CGA and STR, as well as a “deep dive” into the economic outlook for the sector.
UKHospitality CEO Kate Nicholls said: “We are incredibly pleased to announce that the Business Secretary will be joining us for our annual conference this year.
“This year’s in-person conference is an important opportunity for us all to come together, share experiences and also remind a key figure in the Government of the enormous contribution our industry makes to the economic and social wellbeing of the UK. I look forward to seeing as many members as possible there on what is set to be a great event.”
The 2021 UKHospitality Conference will be held on 20 September at the RAC club in London.
