Each of the four new shows, The Foodservice Show, incorporating a coffee-focused Café Commerce section and feature; Hospitality Tech Show; The Professional Kitchen Show and Interiors and Tableware Show, will be specialist events in themselves, each benefitting from the ‘Hotelympia-effect’.

Commenting on the changes and looking ahead to the new show, Hotelympia portfolio director, Ross Carter, said: “The resilience, optimism, entrepreneurial spirit and constant drive for innovation that the hospitality industry represents is something truly worthy of celebration. In 2018, a modern take on Hotelympia will move the show forward without ever losing sight of its 83-year heritage.

"Following a period of consultation with the trade we have developed the Hotelympia brand, to act as the umbrella to four, co-located shows, each created to meet the demands of specific buying audiences in the hospitality industry. Since its inception, Hotelympia has sought to mirror the vibrant industry that it serves, to stay relevant and ahead of the curve – 2018 will be no different. We move forward into the New Year with great optimism and excitement, with a revitalised Hotelympia experience."

A full Hotelympia speaker programme and exciting new show features will be announced soon.
