The Irish Hospitality Institute is delighted to announce the 30th Hospitality Management Awards, a landmark occasion in the hospitality and tourism calendar.
This year’s awards will be particularly special as we celebrate 30 years of recognising excellence across Ireland’s hospitality, catering and tourism industries, while also marking 60 years of the Irish Hospitality Institute.
For three decades, the Hospitality Management Awards have recognised the outstanding individuals who have made a significant contribution to our industry through leadership, innovation, professionalism, commitment and excellence. They celebrate the talent, dedication and achievements of the people who continue to shape and strengthen Ireland’s hospitality and tourism sector.
As we mark these two significant milestones, we look forward to bringing together colleagues, industry leaders, past award recipients and friends of the Institute for an exceptional evening of celebration, recognition and connection.
We hope you will join us for what promises to be a truly memorable evening.

Join us for the first of our Autumn 2026 Webinar Series, Empowering Consumers Directive, supported by Restaurant and Hospitality Skillnet.

Raquel Noboa - Founder and CEO Fifty Shades Greener, will share her knowledge on what the new anti-greenwashing rules mean for hotel sustainability claims and communications.

By the end of the webinar, participants will:

👉 Understand EmpCo, what the Directive is, why it has been introduced, who it affects and what changes from 27 September 2026.
👉 Recognise environmental claims, including written statements, imagery, symbols, labels, brand messaging and other communications that may constitute an environmental claim.
👉 Identify high-risk language, understand the new rules around generic environmental claims such as green, sustainable, eco-friendly, climate-friendly and similar terminology.
👉 Understand the rules around carbon claims, including restrictions relating to claims such as carbon neutral, climate neutral and claims based on greenhouse-gas offsetting.
👉 Understand sustainability labels and certification, recognise the distinction between credible certification schemes and sustainability labels that businesses can no longer simply create or use without meeting the relevant requirements.
👉 Spot potential greenwashing, use practical examples to distinguish between stronger, evidence-based environmental communication and claims that could create compliance risks.
👉 Take practical action, identify the communications that organisations should review now, including websites, marketing materials, social media, product information, sustainability reports and environmental claims.
