Bengaluru, November 21, 2015 : The Summit will be held on 8/9 February 2016 at the prestigious Yas Viceroy Hotel in Abu Dhabi and is distinctive in many ways:
· Senior executives at hotel owning companies will dominate the speaker slots and the delegates
· It is the first event to present the Gulf and Indian Ocean region as a unified area, bringing together delegates from as far afield as the Middle East, Mauritius and Australia, and providing all of them with the opportunity to network with investors from the Gulf and South East Asia
· No more sterile panel formats where panellists are so often in ‘violent agreement’ with each other – the sessions will be driven by debates and round tables
· Costs of attendance are being kept at an affordable level
HOFTEL Chairman Simon Allison notes:
“We are aiming to create a new, exciting format with a Summit built around owners and their concerns. Our sessions will be short, punchy and informative, and we’re delighted already to have many of the region’s leading CEOs among our speakers, looking at both inbound and also outbound investment from the region.”
The Summit is being hosted at the Yas Viceroy in Abu Dhabi, home of the Abu Dhabi grand prix and both the owner, Aldar, and operator, Viceroy, have given GIOHIS strong support, alongside other sponsors like Rotana, Open Key, Rezidor, Centara, JLL & HVS. Around 50 speakers will explore topics of direct relevance to owners over one and half days.
Russell Kett, Chairman of HVS’s London office, added:
“This is a fresh approach to hotel investment events, with a real effort to have the whole programme based around hotel owners and topics of relevance to them. There should be a good mix of owners, brands and service providers there and, with the low cost of delegate passes, I strongly encourage anyone with an interest in the region, or a desire to meet its leading investors, to attend.”
