What to expect
The Annual Hospitality Conference is a two-day conference and networking event at Manchester Central Convention Complex on 14-15 September.
The programme runs across multiple stages, covering the investment decisions, asset management challenges and development opportunities shaping UK hospitality right now.
Learn
Hear directly from the senior decision-makers shaping UK hospitality assets.
The 2026 programme covers five topic areas: the hospitality investment landscape, asset management and operational performance, regeneration and placemaking, AI and tech transformation, and hospitality concept innovation.
Network
AHC 2026 is designed to put you in front of the right people across both days, through a mix of structured and informal formats.
The Power Hour uses AI-driven matchmaking to connect you with delegates based on your objectives. Meeting of Minds and roundtable discussions create smaller, focused environments for peer exchange. Finally, our receptions and coffee breaks give the conversations room to continue naturally in more relaxed settings.
Meet the market
The exhibition floor is where you meet the suppliers, solution providers and advisors who are active across UK hospitality.
Over 60 sponsors attend, covering everything from finance and technology to design and construction.
