AHC Investor Lounge

Invest in the future of UK hospitality

The Annual Hospitality Conference (AHC) is where investors looking to deploy capital in the UK connect with market-makers, sharpen their strategies, and gain a competitive edge. With UK interest rates trending down, evolving funding models, and rising demand for alternative concepts, AHC gives you the insight and access to act with confidence. 

20% of the audience is made up of active investors representing over £100 billion in assets under management. This makes AHC the UK’s key forum for sourcing deals, building partnerships, and tracking emerging trends like adaptive reuse and branded residences. 

Apply for an investor pass for £770 – a £630 saving on the standard rate and gain access to exclusive networking areas and closed-door investor sessions.
