About the Breakfast Series
The 80 Twenty Breakfast Series is a high-energy, invitation-only morning event designed for General Managers, Directors of Sales, Marketing and Revenue, and senior commercial leaders across Australia’s hotel and accommodation sector. Each session brings together up to 50 hand-selected attendees for a focused, energising start to the business day.
These leadership breakfasts combine meaningful networking, expert insights, and structured conversations that strengthen supplier relationships, inspire commercial innovation, and elevate strategic thinking across hotel teams.
Delivered in partnership with a select group of industry sponsors, all invitations are extended personally by Managing Director Sandra Swatton, ensuring a high-quality audience of engaged decision-makers in every city.
