Jane Pendlebury, CEO of HOSPA, refl ects on the associations’ busy and transformative autumn.


A season of change A


s the vibrant colours of autumn give way to winter’s crisper air, I look back on a particularly active time for HOSPA, which encompassed key events, such as our annual HOSPACE conference, partnerships, community- building efforts and more, which are all aimed at celebrating our fantastic, yet ever-evolving industry. Autumn has been a testament to the strength and adaptability of our hospitality community and here I reflect on some of the highlights.


Rekindling the HOSPA Fellows Event We kicked off the season with a reimagined HOSPA Fellows event – the first in over a decade.

A gathering of HOSPA’s most senior members, who intermingled with up-and-coming hospitality professionals, it provided a refreshing blend of camaraderie and professional insight, with an atmosphere of both reflection and anticipation for the future. It wasn’t merely a nostalgic nod to past Fellows meetings but an occasion to reconnect on pressing issues and emerging trends. Attendees exchanged insights on topics from technological innovation to sustainability practices, making the event an enriching experience that underscored HOSPA Fellows’ dedication to leading industry transformation – with the event hosted under blue skies with views of London’s Thames River.
