The Good Food Symposium, presented by Lightspeed

Please join us for the next Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Symposium, presented by Lightspeed where industry panellists will discuss how the hospitality industry’s revenue streams are shifting, but new opportunities still exist.

Dine-in was once the only money maker, but it’s no longer the unchallenged engine of growth for the hospitality industry. Instead, other opportunities have emerged - things like delivery, merch, pre-packaged goods, chef partnerships, brand diffusion lines and grab and go items.

Understanding your options and where to find them is increasingly central to a successful hospitality business, as is how you structure your company for 2026 and beyond.

Our Sydney host and panellists are:

Sarah Norris (Host) - Head of Good Food

Sarah Doyle - creative director Porteno Group and Paisano and Daughters

Federico Zanellato - Chef and Co-Owner, LuMi Dining, Lode Pies & Pastries, Restaurant Leo, Regina La Pizzeria and Freo

Chris Theodosi - Co-Founder, Happyfield

Katie Shortland - Director and Co-Founder, RaRa Ramen and Lonely Mouth

Rob Stone - Senior Director of APAC Hospitality, Lightspeed

All are welcome and although it is free of charge to attend, registration is necessary.
