How do we build a better society around us from a rooted foundation rather than just from the chaotic branches of our minds? That is the body connection circuit we own in spaces of hospitality and service.

In this insightful keynote, Los Angeles-based Spencer – who is also a TEDX speaker, Certified Yoga instructor, artist and a board director for ‘Stepping Up’ – will take delegates through a Somatic body healing session (Soma means “parts of an organism, the body as distinct from the soul, mind and psyche/spirit”).

She will be touching on how hotels should increase where holistic programs should be created. It’s not just massages in the day spa… we must look beyond the day spa. How do we offer more holistic mind and body connection in all these rooms of hospitality?

How do hotels offer more holistic programs for the benefit of the wellbeing and its significant benefits in today new technology age?

Offerings such as sound healing events, meditation, yoga, reducing stress levels, focus-retention and over-all healthy in the body should be front and centre and Spencer will look at why and importantly, how.

In this insightful keynote, Bailey will look at the clear need for transparency in the liquor industry. He will look at how consumers and the hospitality industry are largely unaware that some alcohol producers regularly use carcinogens, allergens and meat-based products in their beer, wine and spirits, without informing the public.

He says there is a global conversation happening among regulators and alcohol producers, but the purveyors of alcohol also need to be informed and involved.
