Welcome to the Exhibitors Studio
Hospitality Live is a one-day MICE showcase bringing venues, hotels, and event professionals together through real conversion and curated conversation – in a setting that feels refreshingly human. It’s less ‘shell schemes and sales pitches’ and more ‘pull up a chair, grab a coffee, let’s talk about business’.
Why Exhibit
Vibrant
An exciting new type of MICE festival with a big dose of industry energy. A fresh alternative to traditional trade shows – think sofas, lounge spaces, and laid-back meet-ups.
Human
A relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that makes networking feel friendly, not forced, with an open space and festival party extending into the evening.
Diverse
A varied programme of talks throughout the day and a guest list of buyers and professionals from across the UK hospitality and event sector – perfect for curated and impactful networking moments.

“It was important that The Queens Hotel, Leeds were involved in Hospitality Live. Why, because it was the first year of something that potentially will grow into an event that Leeds can truly call its own. Did it work, yes, Hospitality Live 2026 managed to bring together over 100 buyers and over 40 suppliers that gave us a great opportunity to promote what’s great about the city of Leeds. Will we be back for 2027, Absolutely.”
Paul Priest. Director of Business Development at The Queens Hotel, Leeds
“I loved the layout of the event, particularly the stands. The atmosphere was fantastic too, with so much going on throughout the day. It was great to meet multiple partners, make new connections, and network with industry colleagues, from those I work with now to people I hadn’t seen in over 20 years. I also came away with some valuable new contacts. I am incredibly excited to see this event grow. If this is what was achieved with only three months to organise, next year is going to be amazing!”
Katie O’Hara. Director of Sales & Marketing at Crowne Plaza Leeds
“We really enjoyed exhibiting at Hospitality Live and were proud to sponsor the event in its first year. The relaxed atmosphere and approachable feel of the exhibition created the perfect environment for conversation and networking. We had the opportunity to speak with a number of high-quality attendees and make some fantastic new connections throughout the day. It was great to be part of such a positive and well organised event, and we’re excited to see Hospitality Live continue to grow in the years ahead.”

“It was fantastic to see so many agents and clients attending and engaging with the event. It demonstrated real potential and highlighted the strength of Leeds as a thriving, ever-evolving city.
It was a great atmosphere and it was encouraging to see so much interest from attendees.
I’m already looking forward to Hospitality Live 2027. If this year’s event is anything to go by, the next edition will be even bigger and better.”
