Hospo Hui brings together leaders, thinkers and innovators to share thoughts and ideas on how to pave a sustainable hospitality industry for Aotearoa.

Through speaker and panel discussions the event will offer a unique insight into the ideas that are shaping the hospitality industry today.

Restaurant Association CEO Marisa Bidois says “This is a must attend event for anyone in our industry but also for anyone with a passion for food, drink and innovation. There will be something on offer for everyone in the food and drink industry, irrespective of whether you work for a brand restaurant or cafe, bar, retailer, supplier, manufacturer, or hotel.
“The aim of this event is to bring together like-minded people from all walks of our industry, and provide a unique platform for information-sharing and inspiration.”

“By combining these events, we aim to provide a complete industry solution that supports learning, education, and business development. Time-poor attendees will have the opportunity to visit over 200 exhibiting companies at Fine Food New Zealand while also engaging in the full range of Hospo Hui content – it could prove to be the most beneficial day out of the year!
