Sydney’s hospo and nightlife scene has evolved dramatically in recent years, driven by cultural shifts, cost-of-living pressures and the rise of new technologies. So how do venues stand out, foster community and create real buzz? Time Out Sydney’s Editor, Avril Treasure, will be joined by a panel of Sydney hospo professionals to share practical insights on what’s working – and what’s not – across small bars, restaurants and multi-venue precincts. You’ll learn what makes a high-value offer, how to connect authentically (and distinctively) with Gen Z and Millennial audiences, what Time Out Sydney looks for when creating content, and why every venue needs a unique hospo hook that sticks.
