This industry-leading event, hosted by Home Leisure Direct and Inntegra, dives deep into the world of competitive socialising, exploring how it’s revolutionising the hospitality industry and unlocking new revenue streams.
In May 2025, we’re bringing together visionary innovators, fearless entrepreneurs, chain owners, and ambitious start-ups to share their experiences—what worked, what didn’t, and the valuable lessons they learned along the way.
Competitive socialising is all about bringing people together for unforgettable experiences—engaging activities, high-energy fun, and lasting memories. What better way to celebrate this than by filling the venue with cutting-edge competitive socialising products and technologies for attendees to try first-hand? Plus, with big names in hospitality in the room, networking opportunities will be everywhere—especially once the drinks start flowing and the games kick off!
MORE DETAILS BELOW.
We can’t wait to welcome you all to Competitive Socialising 2025—an event bigger, bolder, and more exciting than ever before!
