Fortune favours F
orward-thinking hospitality professionals are invited to convene at the International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF) 2023
to identify how the industry can adapt and innovate through the current challenges, and emerge stronger than ever before. While issues such as inflation, rising interest rates, debt availability, volatile capital markets, geopolitical instability and lack of available staff are all impacting the market, hospitality continues to show tenacity, strength and hold its place on the global stage. This display of fortitude amid adversity has
shaped the theme for this year’s IHIF, which returns to the InterContinental in Berlin on 15–17 May. Under the headline: ‘fortune favours the bold’, the popular industry-leading event will return with a dynamic programme designed to help drive a successful trading year. A billing of over 200 guest speakers from across the hospitality, business and investment sectors will provide insight and inspiration to attendees. They will discuss current trends and suggest ways to manage the impact of structural forces to give the industry the impetus it needs to make bold decisions for the future.
