HFTP London Chapter will bring together senior leaders from across hospitality finance, technology and hotel operations for an evening of industry discussion, education and networking at The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel, on Wednesday 2 September 2026.
Taking place from 5:30pm to 9:00pm, HFTP London – A Summer Evening at The Cadogan will provide a forum for hospitality professionals to connect, exchange perspectives and explore some of the most pressing issues affecting the industry today.
At the heart of the evening will be an Executive Cybersecurity Panel, bringing together senior cybersecurity leaders from Belmond, Jardine Matheson and Soho House.
Moving beyond cybersecurity as simply a technology issue, the panel will explore its wider implications for hospitality businesses from financial exposure and operational resilience to reputation, governance and leadership responsibility.
The discussion will give attendees the opportunity to hear directly from those responsible for protecting complex international hospitality organisations and understand how leadership teams can better prepare for an increasingly challenging cyber landscape.
Investing in Hospitality’s Rising Stars
The evening will also see HFTP London announce the recipients of its Educational Raffle, an initiative designed to recognise and support emerging talent within hospitality finance and technology. Thanks to Keystep Solutions donation.
Two rising stars will receive the opportunity to undertake one of HFTP’s globally recognised professional certifications:
- CHAE – Certified Hospitality Accountant Executive
- CHTP – Certified Hospitality Technology Professional
Each prize includes the full education programme and certification examination, representing an investment of more than £775 in professional development.
The initiative encourages hospitality leaders to look within their own organisations and identify the individuals who have the potential to become the industry’s future leaders.
Participants can purchase a raffle ticket for themselves or gift one to a colleague, team member or emerging professional they believe deserves the opportunity to progress their career.
This is more than a raffle prize – it is an investment in someone’s future. Buy raffle tickets here
An Evening of Connection and Conversation
Alongside the educational programme, guests will be welcomed with drinks and canapés before the panel discussion, followed by HFTP London’s Educational Raffle announcement.
The evening will conclude with a Red Cocktail Reception, giving attendees the opportunity to continue conversations, build new relationships and connect with peers from across London’s hospitality community.
For hotel leaders and professionals working across finance, technology, operations and hospitality leadership, the event offers an opportunity to step away from day-to-day operations and engage with the people and issues shaping the future of the sector.
