The BII People Conference brings together leading voices from across the hospitality industry to share best practice and innovation, as well as challenging our thinking around helping our teams thrive. Our people are the very heart of hospitality businesses, and how we recruit, retain and develop them will always be key to our success as a sector.
We are pleased to announce that our People Conference will be returning on November 19th 2026, be sure to save the date! To view the panels and speakers from our previous People Conference, please see below.
At People Conference 2025, our individual speakers bring more than credentials; they bring lived experience, bold perspectives, and a willingness to speak the truth.
Each one takes the stage with a dedicated presentation crafted to spark thought, shift mindsets, and move the conversation forward. These are not generic talks — they’re personal, provocative, and packed with real-world insight.
