By Berenice, Thursday 12 September 2019
Arena's next event takes place on Monday 30 September 2019 at the stunning Haberdasher's Hall in London and explores the importance of brand reputation in an ever-competitive market.
Who should attend and Why?
We have an action-packed educational and inspirational day that is ideal for anyone working in the foodservice and hospitality industry either as a supplier or an operator. The exciting programme of speakers will provide you with insight and understanding on how companies are pushing the boundaries and disrupting the market to gain the crucial competitive edge to deliver growth, whilst at the same time protecting their company and brand. You will also learn about the importance of reputation management and how do brands recover their reputation if their brand is damaged.
