career option so why are so many people leaving the industry? Is it the long hours and pressure? Pay? Education? Media perception? Or something else.
On day three of Hotelympia 2016 at 3pm Wednesday, March 2, we’ll be taking to The Stage with a

panel of esteemed experts including managing director of HIT! Training, Jill Whittaker; Neil Rippington of University College Birmingham and Senior Executive Chef Europe for Marriot Hotels, Sean Kelly, to examine the shortage in greater depth.
Already there have been some passionate views from across the industry and, as a show visitor, we want you to be part of the audience and part of the discussion.
Make sure you keep 3pm on Wednesday, March 2, 2016 clear in your diaries, as discussions are liable to be frank, open and always insightful.
