Be the next hospitality speaker
The Hospitality Excellence Awards stage is for people with something useful to say about where this industry is going. If that is you, we would like to hear from you.
Scale your impact
A speaking slot at the ceremony puts you in front of the people who decide where money, instructions and talent go next.
A room worth speaking to
Founders, directors and decision-makers from across the hospitality industry — not a general business audience.
Scale your impact
Your session is filmed and shared through our channels, so the audience does not end when the day does.
Authority, not advertising
Speaking slots go to people with something to say. Pitch decks stay in the bag; insight is what gets booked.
Tell us what you would talk about
Send a short outline of your topic and why it matters to a hospitality audience. Choose Press & media or General enquiry and mention “speaker” in your message — it reaches the programme team either way.
- Practitioners with a story the room has not heard before
- Data or research that changes how people work
- Hard-won lessons from an opening, a scale-up or a downturn
- Perspectives currently under-represented on hospitality stages
There's a category with your name on it
0 honours across the industry — each a different stage for a different story. Find the one built for yours, and enter as many as genuinely fit.
