A New Kind of Hospitality

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.
