The last week has shown us that while some lockdown restrictions across Australia are slowly being eased, we are far from through this pandemic and there is still lots for our industry to do.
As Melbourne enters its second week of its second lockdown and restrictions are tightened again in New South Wales, we can see that the road to recovery is going to be a tricky one to navigate.
This is why Bars and Clubs along with Australian Hotelier, Hospitality Magazine and The Shout is hosting a free Road to Recovery webinar.
With three Q&A sessions and three roundtable panel discussions the webinar will provide venues and operators with invaluable information about how to bring your business back to life successfully and how to navigate potential business pitfalls in a post-COVID environment.
Bars and Clubs will host a roundtable discussion with Zara Madrusan from Made in the Shade in Melbourne, Mikey Enright of Barrelhouse Group in New South Wales and Andrew Baturo from Dap & Co in Brisbane. Three different operators, from three different states each with their own story on dealing with lockdown, restrictions and their plans for recovery.
In addition we will host a Q&A with Trish Barry, Managing Director of Mastermind Consulting and an expert in venue and brand marketing in the hospitality sector. Trish will share her insights in digital marketing for venues in a post-COVID world and why you need to be thinking differently about social media and beyond social media.
In addition Vanessa Cavasinni, the Editor of Australian Hotelier will chair a roundtable discussion featuring Stephen Hunt, Managing Director of Hunt Hospitality, Jennifer Russell the Group GM of W. Short Hospitality and Andy Mullins, Director of Sand Hill Road.
The third roundtable, hosted by Annabelle Cloros, Editor of Hospitality Magazine will feature Judith Hurley, General Manager at Gerard’s Bistro and Dash Rumble the Co-Owner of Pilot.
