In less than two weeks, the Arena Christmas Event returns to the magnificent Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park – the first event to grace the newly refurbished ballroom since it reopened. The day of insight, education and inspiration will start with an exclusive industry insight session. Industry commentator, Peter Backman, will present a special briefing that explores the high street’s influence and looks at what the future may hold for the foodservice and hospitality industry.

Peter will be joined in conversation by two industry innovators and leaders to consider the challenges facing the sector, how to overcome them and the opportunities; including the role of technology, empowered workforces, charismatic leadership and disruption.
