Louis is part of a new wave of founders and thinkers who see hospitality not just as a service – but as a platform for social wellness.
He’ll be exploring:
- What it means to create connection through design
- How hospitality can support healthier, more conscious communities
- Why the future of the industry isn’t transactional – it’s transformational
This talk isn’t just for those in hospitality. It’s for anyone building spaces, experiences, or businesses that put people at the centre.
Why it matters now
We’re living through a loneliness epidemic. Disconnection is everywhere – and yet the need for belonging has never been greater.
Louis brings a powerful perspective on how physical spaces can be part of the solution. His work at Long Lane isn’t just about where people go – it’s about how they feel when they get there.
And that’s a conversation we need to be having.
