Pub Spotlight
Annual state of the nation from UK pub licensees and tenants
As pub companies diversify their models, we’ve broadened what was formally known as the Leased & Tenanted Spotlight to reflect the full spectrum of the ways pubs are run and supported. The all new Pub Spotlight captures that wider perspective while keeping the same purpose: shining a light on how pub companies can best support their licensees and managers, and positively drive the future of pubs.
Join the key decision-makers from the UK's pub sector on Tuesday 23rd February in central London. Senior level execs from the “Big 6”, family brewers and independent pub companies, representing over 14,500 pubs, will share insights and discuss the key issues facing the sector.
The 2026 date is now confirmed as Tuesday 23rd Feb 2027 - tickets available HERE.
Thanks to our sponsors; Brakes, TNT Sports, Captive Wifi, Hit training, Kokebi, LTC, Logic Vending, Reconomy Connect and Snap o Matic

Quest for Quality
How the UK on-trade can deliver a quality experience for our beer customers every single time
The Quest for Quality event was run in partnership with Budvar UK.
Exclusive research identified that a sub-standard experience for many beer drinkers is currently costing the on-trade significantly. In a time when ‘experience is everything’ but also ‘every penny counts’ the research exposes a pressing need for our industry to address this issue fast.
Hosted by KAM, in partnership with Budvar UK, the event brought together some of the most influential people in the on-trade to discuss the new research and join a debate on how the UK on-trade can deliver a quality experience for our beer customers every single time.
The Informants
Keeping hospitality informed
The Informants is KAM’s invite-only event series bringing together senior leaders from across hospitality for open, honest conversations about the issues shaping the future of the sector.
Each event takes one important topic and puts it under the spotlight, combining fresh KAM insight with perspectives from operators and industry experts. With a deliberately small guest list, The Informants is designed to encourage candid discussion, shared experiences and the kind of conversations that don’t always happen on a conference stage.
The Informants is strictly invitation-only. Interested in joining us at a future event? Get in touch HERE.
A big thanks to the informants: Airship and Toggle, 125 Data & Insights, CGA, Zonal, TipJar, Oxford Partnership, The Access Group, HGEM and Me&U
