Bank of England representatives will be on hand too, to talk about the latest trends impacting payments, including what the bank is doing to protect access to cash.
John White, CEO of Bacta, said that the line-up of speakers reflects the reputation that the association enjoys and recognises the support that Bacta members provide for the economics and communities in both the coast and the high street.
“We have aimed extremely high in our endeavours to bring together the key voices from within and outside the industry and I am delighted at the responses we have had.
"Kate Nicholls OBE, our latest confirmed speaker played a pivotal role during the darkest days of lockdown when she took the hospitality sector’s arguments to the heart of government.
"It will be fascinating to listen to her perspective on that period, what help she believes the sector needs from future governments and how land-based hospitality businesses can contribute to the UK’s economic recovery.”
