The LPF Leisure Review of 2021

Generously hosted by Gowling WLG

2021 saw a continuation of one of the most disruptive and difficult periods for the leisure sector, and of course, the country as a whole. With the strong signs of recovery but new areas of challenge such as rising costs, supply shortages and staff wages, what can we look forward to in 2022?

The Leisure Property Forum annual review is one of our flagship events and a must-attend event, providing attendees the opportunity to hear from four major industry experts who cover the economy, F&B market, non-food/Big Box Leisure sector and investment market.

Our experts review the big events of 2021, as well as take a look at how the sector has learned from the experience, with examples of innovation and adaptation across many aspects of leisure and hospitality. The presentations are followed by a panel discussion discussing and expanding on key trends and challenges in our sector.

The Event is chaired by Emma Mackenzie, Head of Asset Management & ESG at NewRiver.
