In May 2024, we will hear from innovators, entrepreneurs, chain owners and chain starters to learn what worked for them and what hard lessons they learned along the way.
Competitive Socialising is about bringing people together to have fun, take part in something engaging and build lasting memories. What better way to celebrate this ideal than to pack the venue full of cutting edge competitive socialising products and technologies for attendees to experience first-hand on the day? Plus, with so many big names in hospitality in the room it'll be hard not to rub elbows and network throughout the event, especially once the drinks and games get underway.
MORE DETAILS BELOW.
We look forward to welcoming you all again to our Competitive Socialising 2024 event.
Welcome to Competitive Socialising: The Power of Play & Awards 2024
Home Leisure Direct and Inntegra are back with a full speaker programme and the latest in competitive socialising games and experiences for 2024!
Whether you're looking to optimise your existing competitive socialising space or are looking to expand into the exciting world of immersive leisure, this is the place to be. Now in its 4th year, growing from 350 guests in 2020 to over 900 guests in 2023, this event has become a flagship conference for the hospitality industry.
2024 is going to be bigger and better than ever before - with the inaugural Competitive Socialising Awards being announced live on stage in the evening portion of the event! Judged by the advisory board of the Gamechangers Organisation, the Awards will recognise the successes of operators in the space - from independent venues to multi chain operators.
The event will take over the stunning art-deco Lighthouse Theatre in Camberwell, London once again. Join us on Thursday 9th May for a day jam packed with talks, demos, epic products to play on, networking opportunities, live bands, DJ's, drag acts, interactive quizzes and so much more!
- And what's more, we're excited to announce we have enlisted a NEW, full audio-visual company to look after our speakers on stage.
