Address: 90/130 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000

Please join us for the next The Age Good Food Symposium presented by Lightspeed where industry panellists will discuss the topic: Prepare to Thrive in ’25: How to position a hospitality business for success.

We’re gathering industry to discuss a ‘nourish and flourish’ approach that everyone from hospitality novices to veterans to the intrigued general public will find fascinating and insightful. Guests will pick up practical tips and advice – from what you can achieve on a small budget; how good culture can help retain staff; whether you need to hire a full-time HR person; the importance of processes and systems; and how to find the time to work on culture in between everything else on your to-do list.

Our Melbourne host and panellists are:

Dani Valent (Host) – Good Food writer and restaurant reviewer

Joe Durrant – Director, The Recreation*

Petrina Baker – Director, Baker and Frost

Kantaro Okada – Director, Tsunagu Project

Christy Tania – Owner & Executive Chef, GLACE Dessert

Kaidee Grzankowski – Co-Owner, Maggie’s Snacks and Liquor & Managing Director of Snacks & Liquor Co.

Pete Learmonth – Product Manager, Lightspeed

All are welcome and although it is free of charge to attend, registration is necessary.
