With just over six weeks until the first-ever Pub Leaders Summit, the speaker line-up for the conference has now been finalised.

Many respected hotel operators and senior managers will be talking about their own personal experiences and sharing their knowledge of the pub sector and all things hospitality at the inaugural Pub Leaders Summit.

Included in the line-up are three Solotel operators, COO Justine Baker, discussing managing multiple venues and what to expect in 2016; Ben Stephens, operations manager, who will speak on living with the lock-outs; and Jeremy Shipley, group bars manager, chatting about premium beverage opportunities.

Other large operators who will be sharing pearls of wisdom on the day include keynote speaker  Paddy Coughlan of Bourke St, Arthur Laundy of Laundy Hotel Group, Michael Dixon of Dixon Hospitality Group, Andy Mullins of Sand Hill Road and Anthony Prior of The Keystone Group. Smaller operators are also represented in the line-up, with Jaime Wirth (who recently sold his three Drinkndine venues) speaking on food opportunities, and Steve Jeffares and Guy Greenstone of The Local Taphouse talking about all things craft beer.

With over 25 speakers for the event, all aspects of hospitality and venue management will be discussed, from social media marketing to financing expansion.
