Hotelivate is gearing up to present the 19th Annual Hotel Investment Conference – South Asia (HICSA) at the luxurious JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort and Spa, scheduled from April 2nd to 4th, 2024. This year’s event, diverging from its recent themes of resilience and growth post-pandemic, will dive into the rich tapestry of hospitality, with a special focus on culinary innovation.

On the occasion of HICSA’s 19th year, Manav Thadani, the Founder Chairman of Hotelivate, expressed his enthusiasm for hosting the event in Bengaluru, known as the “Silicon Valley of India.” This location reflects the conference’s focus on technological advancements within the hospitality sector. Thadani highlighted the significance of India in the South Asian hospitality market and the conference’s role in spotlighting investment opportunities, emerging trends, and networking with leading industry figures. HICSA is expected to catalyze investment and innovation in the rapidly evolving sector, thanks in part to the support from various stakeholders, including delegates, sponsors, and speakers, celebrating the convergence of food, beverage, and hospitality.

The conference will feature the participation of three global hospitality CEOs, bringing together a wide spectrum of professionals from the hospitality, real estate, and investment sectors. Notably, Sébastian Bazin of Accor, Mark S. Hoplamazian of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, and Federico J. González of Radisson Hotel Group will be among the speakers.
