Future Hospitality Summit reveals FHS...

HARDTalk presenter Stephen Sackur among keynotes at September's hospitality conference in Dubai

Hospitality investment conference Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) World Dubai has announced its first speakers and a host of initiatives dedicated to women for this autumn's event.

Scheduled to return to its original home at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai from 30 September to 2 October 2024, the three-day FHS World agenda will feature speakers including HARDTalk presenter Stephen Sackur; Satya Anand, President, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) Marriott International, and John Pagano, Group CEO, Red Sea Global.

Participants will take centre stage, sharing their insights on everything topics spanning hotel investment, health and wellness, ESG matters, entrepreneurship, regional trends and risk management.

This year, the FHS World conference arena features a new dedicated Tech Zone and the ESG Lab to address all things environment, sustainability and governance.

The FHS World team has also introduced Country Pavilions, where individual nations can showcase their upcoming hospitality projects and high ROI ventures. Morocco, Italy and the Maldives have already reserved their spots, with more in the pipeline including large presence from Saudi Arabia on the exhibition floor.

Furthermore, FHS World is reinforcing the important role of women in the Middle East’s hospitality industry as the chosen venue to host the semi-finals of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation's Women In Tech Start Up Competition. The event will be held over the first two days of FHS World on the Exhibition Stage.

Jonathan Worsley, Chairman of FHS World organiser The Bench, said: “After delivering a hugely successful FHS Saudi Arabia, we are now fully focused on bringing the biggest, boldest and best Future Hospitality Summit to date to Dubai.

“Having added The Arena of Madinat Jumeirah to our canvas this year, we have almost doubled our floor space, bringing more opportunities to showcase and celebrate our industry’s achievements and exciting future,” he added.

“Look out for special focuses on technology and sustainability, green buildings and "hotelisation" of real estate. Plus, for the first time, there will be a dedicated Investor Relations Drive where we will connect investors to projects and partners.”
