Meet the people who decide where hotel capital goes
Every hotel deal needs someone to fund it, someone to own it, a brand to fly the flag and an operator to run it. At IHIF EMEA, they spend three days under one roof in Berlin, alongside the advisers who get the deal over the line.
If you sell into hotel investment, this is where your buyers gather. Sponsorship decides whether you meet them across a crowded lounge or at your stand, with a diary you filled before you arrived.

In sponsors' words
"A good story is never a story unless it's told. So we have a platform to tell a story."
Dimitris Manikis
President & Managing Director EMEA

"We would recommend being sponsors because we had a stand and the opportunity to speak, it was about putting our brand forward and being more visible at the event. We will definitely be here next year."
Cecilia Lesbegueries
Development Analyst
The Ascott Limited
"Participating has supported our business goals for a number of years now. We not only talk about trends, but we also talk about opportunities. We have met with connections that have concretized in the past couple of years at the show, so it's definitely the type of event where you build partnerships."
