Relive best moments with us through a visual journey.

Discovered endless possibilities and the power of lifelong learning.

"I've been in the industry 40 years now and I realized I'm never too old to learn. I wasn't sure about what to expect but it has been very useful. I've learned a lot of things that I can use it back in the workplace. I can't wait to get back there and start using some of these informations I learned this week."

Steve Rose

General Manager @ The Upham Pub Co.

Made lifelong friendship with driven and motivated industry leaders.

"This week has been fantastic. The food tour was amazing - I got to visit different concepts and ideas toward different people and see somethings that I didn't expect to find. It's been fantastic being around some really passionate people about what they do, and I've thoroughly enjoyed myself. I look forward to keeping contacts with these people as time goes one."

Simon Went

General Manager @ The Upham Pub Co.

Explored inspirational culinary innovations and unexpected gastronomical delights.

"The mission is to spend some times, get some new ideas and new ways of working, and to meet some new friends from the industry. From the food tour, I got to see what's up and coming in Miami, look at the innovations, have my brain frazzled by the artificial intelligence and the tech businesses that can take us forward."

Rob Goodier

Operations Director @ The Upham Pub Co.

No one captures this experience better than our wonderful host.
