Beyond the Booking - Your next booking might come through an AI agent
Tuesday 10 November 2026 · London · Hosted at Clays Soho, by Rookoo
A planner asks an AI assistant where to take 40 colleagues on a Thursday evening in London, with food, something active and a sensible budget. The assistant answers with a shortlist. What happens when that assistant can also make the booking?
For hospitality, leisure and event venues, that shortlist is becoming a new front door. The question is whether your venue is on it.
Join Clays and Rookoo for an evening on what this shift means for your venue’s visibility and bookings, and what you can do about it now.
The evening
6PM — Welcome and arrivals
6.30PM — Keynote: Getting your venue found and understood by AI
7PM — Panel: From AI Recommendation to Confirmed Booking, followed by audience Q&A
7.45PM — Networking, food, drinks and Clays shooting, on us
On the panel
Tom Snellock, CEO of Clays
Chris Denman, Co-Founder and CCO of Bookable
Anthony Meirlaen, CTO of Rookoo
Moderator: Jeroen Borloo, CEO of Rookoo
Expect a practical conversation on agentic commerce, Model Context Protocol (MCP) and what venue operators should prepare for. The keynote explores getting onto the shortlist; the panel examines what it takes to turn an AI recommendation into a confirmed booking.
The Q&A is open, so bring your hardest questions.
Then stay for food, drinks and a go at Clays’ interactive shooting experience.
An invitation-only evening for commercial, sales and operations leaders across hospitality, leisure and event venues.
