PUB16, the only trade show dedicated to the UK pub industry, is back and open for registration following a successful launch in 2015. Taking place at Olympia, London, on 9 and 10 February 2016, PUB16 returns bigger and bolder, with more exhibitors, more insight and more big names.
Representing the £22bn UK pub industry, PUB16 is supported by some of the leading organisations in the sector, including the Association of Licenced Multiple Retailers (ALMR), British Institute of Innkeeping (BII), British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) and the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), along with leading pubco operators Punch Taverns and Enterprise Inns.
The must-attend event for anyone connected to the on trade, PUB16 features an exciting line-up of free-to-attend business sessions and panel discussions tailored to the aspiring pub owner and operator eager to build profits. Showcasing more than 150 hand-picked exhibitors presenting a wide range of products and services covering craft brewers and beer, premium wines, spirits and soft drinks, bar and kitchenware, design, technology and marketing support, PUB16 is a one-stop-shop of ideas from bar to business.
Recruit – Train – Retain, a key feature area of the show, offers straight-talking advice on how to manage staff, recruitment and tenancy, with advice from industry leaders, Springboard, People First and HIT Training. The Taste Table provides food and drink matching inspiration, advice and training and Sophie’s Bar expertly guides you through some of UK’s best regional brewers, introduced by acclaimed beer sommelier Sophie Atherton.
Commenting on what PUB16 means to the sector, Tim Foster, Director of the entrepreneurial Yummy Pub Co, says:
“PUB16 is where the industry’s leaders and tastemakers gather to exchange ideas face-to-face, learn from each other, strive to improve their business and strengthen their hold on the market.”
With nearly 90% of last year’s attendees stating they will return again this year, PUB16 promises to be the not-to-be missed trade event for the UK’s pub owners, proprietors and directors.
