2026 Theme:
Returns Redefined. Value Reimagined.

Now an institutional-grade asset class influencing - hotelising - other segments, hospitality is increasingly recognised as a powerful driver of diversification, performance, and sustainable growth.

IHIF EMEA 2026 is at the forefront of championing this evolution, raising the bar on content, connections, and deal-making to deliver the most dynamic environment to analyse data, test strategies, and unlock the next wave of opportunity. 

In a market shaped by convergence, innovation, and resilience, the question is not whether hospitality delivers but how far we can redefine returns and reimagine value together
