We were proud to host a Career Support & Networking Event at The Academies, bringing together professionals from across the UAE’s F&B and hospitality sector for an afternoon of connection, learning, and collaboration. The event reflected the strength and diversity of our industry, and the importance of supporting its future. Opening the session, our Group CEO, Tyrone Reid, spoke about the shared purpose that unites hospitality: creating memorable experiences for our customers, colleagues, and communities. He also highlighted the importance of strong partnerships, continuous development, and industry collaboration—recognising the role of organisations such as MMI & Emirates Leisure Retail, and the UAE Restaurants Group in bringing the sector together and supporting its ongoing growth. We also want to thank Diala Jarrar 🇵🇸 from LinkedIn, who delivered a practical and engaging workshop on enhancing profile visibility, equipping attendees with tools to strengthen their professional presence. To further support this, we also offered guests professional headshots to elevate their profiles in today’s digital-first world. It was fantastic to see so many meaningful connections being made, with attendees exchanging ideas, building networks, and exploring new opportunities. We remain committed to investing in people and supporting the wider hospitality community as it continues to grow and evolve. A special thank you also to Nelisa Ramabina for bringing this event to life! #MMI #EmiratesLeisureRetail #Hospitality #FandB #Networking #Careers #PeopleDevelopment #TheAcademies #UAEHospitality #LinkedInLearning Tyrone Reid | MIKE GLEN | Murat Gun | Narelle Fox | Matthew Caswell | Vipin Singh | Daniel Tomlinson | Wandusjka (aka van, aka wan) Jennison | Quintin Mass | Travis Kuhn | Tony Dodds | Banu Catal | Graham Knowles | Ewa Szymulewska | Devaraj Sharma (Dev) | Donardson Uy | Gainwille Dean | Bryan Fischer J. | Yaroslav V. | Mihir Singh | Mangesh Patade| Maureen Ava Bateson | Peter Odida | Ruby Kennedy
