Off the back of the success of the first digital MA500 in May, the Morning Advertiser will be hosting a special edition of the MA500 conference on Thursday 16 July, as pubs begin to reopen and adapt to the changed marketplace.
This one-off special will be jam-packed with top businesses, including UKHospitality, Inception Group, and The Deltic Group, outlining the challenges they have and are continuing to face while highlighting how they plan to tackle them. We will also hear from city centre-based operators on the trials and tribulations of businesses in these high-density areas, including the impact of the public being discouraged from using public transport.
