Date & Time: June 2026 - 10am to 5pm

Wellness-led menus. Plant-based as default, not novelty. Personalisation expectations imported from hospitality and retail. Sustainability as a deciding factor at the point of purchase. The travelling consumer has changed faster than most onboard offers have kept up with.

This Round Table brings buyers, suppliers, and operators across aviation, rail, lounges, and terminal retail into one room to work through what's real, what's hype, and what to invest in next. Senior-level, off-the-record, and small enough for everyone to be heard.

Date & Time: August 2026 - 10am to 5pm

From SAF and fuel innovation to single-use reduction, eco-led design, and the gap between passenger expectations and what's actually deliverable. Sustainability has moved from press release to procurement requirement. Operators are being asked harder questions, and suppliers need clearer answers.

This Round Table brings operators, suppliers, and sustainability leads together to share what is working, what is not, and where the wider travel supply chain can genuinely move the dial. Not just the messaging.

Date & Time: November 2026 - 10am to 5pm

Pre-order tech, premium cabin dining, sustainable sourcing, waste reduction, and digital service models are rewriting what passengers expect, and what suppliers are being asked to deliver. The gap between "good catering" and a genuine brand experience has never been wider.

This Round Table brings caterers, suppliers, and operators across aviation, rail, cruise, and lounges together for a forward-looking conversation on where onboard hospitality is heading next, and how to be ready for it.
