Conversations That Move Hospitality Forward.

Scot Turner speaks about hotel food and beverage, hospitality strategy, guest behaviour, concept development and the commercial role of F&B in hotels.

His sessions are built around reframing how hoteliers think. Less “this is how we have always done it”. More honest conversation about what guests want now, what is no longer working and how F&B can become a stronger part of the hotel business.

The topics change depending on the audience, but the thread is always the same. Clear thinking, real operator experience and ideas people can actually use.

Scot does not speak from theory alone. He speaks from real-life examples, managing restaurants in London today.

Through Auden, Scot works with hotel owners, brands, operators and F&B teams on strategy, concept development, operations and commercial performance. He also brings direct experience from restaurants, hotel openings and live hospitality projects.

That means the conversation stays grounded. No polished conference fluff. No generic trends deck. Just a clear view of what is happening in hotel F&B, why it matters and what leaders should be thinking about next.

Yes. Scot can speak at hotel, restaurant, food and beverage, travel, leisure and wider hospitality industry events.

He has spoken at events including Bar & Restaurant Expo, the Annual Hotel Conference, Independent Hotel Show and To The Table, with audiences across the UK, Europe and the US.

Sessions can be shaped for hotel owners, general managers, F&B directors, operators, developers, investors, suppliers or wider hospitality teams.

Scot’s strongest keynote topics focus on changing the way people think about hotel F&B.

That can include rethinking the role of food and beverage in hotels, understanding the modern guest, building concepts with a clearer point of view, making F&B more commercial, improving the guest experience and challenging the old hotel restaurant model.

The best sessions are not built to tell the room what it already knows. They are built to make people stop, think and leave with a sharper view of what needs to change.

Yes. Scot can host panels, lead fireside chats and moderate industry conversations or even host your full event.

This works especially well when the event needs someone who understands the subject deeply enough to ask better questions, keep the conversation moving and bring practical insight into the room.

Scot’s style is conversational, direct and grounded in the realities of hospitality. The aim is not to run through a list of safe questions. It is to create a discussion that people actually want to listen to.

You can book Scot Turner by getting in touch through our contact us page and sharing the event, audience, format, location and the type of conversation you want to create.

From there, we can shape the right keynote, panel or fireside session around your audience. That might mean a big-picture industry keynote, a practical session for hotel leaders, or a more focused conversation around food and beverage strategy, guest behaviour or hospitality performance.

The goal is simple. Bring Auden thinking into the room in a way that feels relevant, useful, worth talking about and grounded in tangible takeaways.
