Following a year of strong growth for the BITA Hospitality Division, we are delighted to invite you to our next in-person event on Friday, 9th October, at Madre Restaurant, Manchester (just a 4-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station).
This event brings together hospitality professionals, industry leaders, and decision- makers for an afternoon of networking, collaboration, and new business opportunities. It’s a chance to connect with peers across the sector, meet the BITA Hospitality Board, and learn how BITA membership can help support your business growth.
As we continue to expand the hospitality ecosystem, the focus of this event will be on building meaningful relationships, driving innovation, and creating opportunities across both the hospitality and sports industries. Together, we can strengthen our businesses and help shape the future of the sector. The afternoons discussion will focus on how hospitality has become one of the biggest commercial drivers in modern sport, and what every hospitality business can learn from it.
