IBF New Year’s Lunch

JANUARY 19, 2022 |

The first IBF event of 2022 was the annual IBF New Year’s Lunch, which we were very happy to go ahead with, bearing in mind that in 2021 the event had to be cancelled due to the Covid Pandemic.   

The lunch was held in our Partner, Zatisi Group’s, lovely Zatisi Restaurant at Liliová 1, Prague 1, on Wednesday, 19th January, 2022, and even though we had several cancellations the night before and on the morning itself, we still had a nice group of people around the table.  Not only did we enjoy the usual great food, but also a lively discussion on a number of topics (and very little mention of Covid, for a change!).

We plan a number of these informal lunches during the course of 2022. Watch this space.

Hospitality in Crisis

NOVEMBER 10, 2021

Despite the ongoing disruption to its business activities due to the Covid Pandemic that raged through the Czech Republic during 2020 and 2021, the IBF managed to hold several successful events, culminating in its very popular seminar entitled ‘Hospitality in Crisis’, which was held on Wednesday, November 10th, in the beautiful Mlynec restaurant, operated by the IBF partner, the Zatisi Group.  More than 40 IBF members and friends turned out to listen to some of the country’s biggest experts from the hospitality industry, including Sanjiv Suri, the Chairman and CEO of the Zatisi Group, and Lenka Zlebkova, the CEO of the Prague Congress Centre.  

The panel gave a fascinating and enlightening view of their experiences over the past 20 months, and whilst it was made clear that many changes will be required from businesses in the hospitality field for them to remain sustainable, the overall tone of the event was optimistic.  We were also pleased to be able to welcome our new media partner, Robert McLean from ‘the Prime’ to the event, and his article can be found here.
