While the Good Food Hospitality Symposium is aimed at Australia’s hospitality industry, there will be a strong consumer focus, too.

Conversations will centre around the impact the rising costs of dining out is having on diners, and if that means they’re willing to take a gamble on new venues and new dishes, or stick to what they know.
