The Event

Welcome to Social Media Mania - The day-long bootcamp hosted by Mark McCulloch MBE and Alison Battisby, where hospitality marketers finally get the answers they've been searching for at 2am while doom-scrolling competitor accounts.

Whether you're a seasoned social media manager or a restaurant owner who's been winging it with whatever your nephew said TikTok needs, this conference is your chance to stop guessing and start growing. 

We're bringing together the brightest minds in hospitality marketing to share the strategies, shortcuts and creative sparks that'll help you cut through the noise, connect with hungry customers, and turn your social feeds into serious bookings. 

Expect practical tips you can use tomorrow, laughs you'll remember forever, and maybe - just maybe - the confidence to finally hit 'post' without second-guessing yourself seventeen times.

Sound good?

We’ll be revealing more soon about the upcoming lineup of talks and panels to help you feel less stressed, and get more success from your social media.

For now, mark Thursday 9th July 2026 in your diaries and join the waitlist below.

What to Expect

A focused, fast-paced day, Social Media Mania will tackle the questions hospitality marketers are dealing with right now, without the fluff.

You’ll learn:

  • What’s actually working on social media for hospitality in 2026

  • How AI is changing content, ads and workflows (and what you can safely ignore)

  • How to get your whole team on board - from chefs to front-of-house

  • How to turn views, likes and saves into bookings

  • Smarter approaches to ads and influencers that don’t waste budget

  • Boardroom-level thinking from multi-site brands and senior marketers

This isn’t theory. It’s practical, honest insight you can apply immediately.

The full agenda and speaker line-up will be revealed soon.

Waitlist members will be the first to see it, and the first to access early-bird tickets.
