Returning to the Lighthouse Theatre in Camberwell, London, Competitive Socialising: The Power of Play™ 2026 brings together venue operators, industry leaders, suppliers and innovators for a day of insight, inspiration and hands-on discovery. Explore the latest trends, technology and attractions shaping the sector, hear from the brands leading the way, and connect with the people driving the future of experiential hospitality.
