Where European Hospitality Investment Decisions Get Made | Berlin, 23–25 March

BERLIN and LONDON, March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With over 700 investors representing $581 billion in assets under management set to converge on Berlin next week, Questex’s International Hospitality Investment Forum EMEA (IHIF EMEA) 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment for the asset class. European hotel transaction volumes are recovering, capital that sat on the sidelines through the interest rate cycle is actively seeking deployment and the branded residences segment is opening new frontiers for investors and operators alike. IHIF EMEA is where those conversations become commitments.

Taking place 23–25 March at the InterContinental and Pullman Hotels in Berlin, the event will welcome more than 2,500 delegates – including 500+ C-suite leaders and directors – alongside a record 220 speakers, the largest programme in the forum’s history. Thirty-two percent of investors attending are first-time participants, a signal of broadening institutional appetite for the sector.

“European hospitality is at an inflection point,” said Alexi Khajavi, Group President, Hospitality, Questex. “Capital is moving again. Investors are recalibrating for a new return environment, brands are reimagining the guest experience and entire new asset categories – from branded residences to experiential leisure – are attracting serious institutional attention. IHIF EMEA 2026 is where the industry comes to forge the partnerships that will define the next decade.”

220+ Leaders Addressing the Critical Conversations Shaping European Hospitality Investment

This year’s programme assembles the most comprehensive speaker faculty in IHIF EMEA’s history, with 30% female representation. The agenda addresses the macro forces reshaping the sector: capital redeployment, evolving guest expectations, sustainability mandates and the rise of experience-led investment. Confirmed speakers are from companies including Airbnb, Blackstone, Hyatt Hotels, Minor International, Essendi SA, L+R, Christie & Co, Financial Times, Frasers Hospitality, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Pandox AB, LaSalle Investment Management, Persepolis Investments and many more.

Three New Tracks Reflecting Where Capital is Moving

The 2026 programme introduces three dedicated tracks that address structural shifts in hospitality investment:

BxR (Brand x Residential) EMEA: As branded residences attract growing allocations from institutional investors, this dedicated track examines investment strategy, development pipeline and the operational models defining the segment’s next phase across EMEA.

Experience Stage: Experiential travel – from ultra-luxury to lifestyle and adventure leisure – has fundamentally altered what investors look for in a hospitality asset. This track examines how shifting guest expectations are reshaping KPIs and underwriting assumptions.

Destination Hub: Location has never mattered more. This new area spotlights placemaking, public-private partnerships, and the emerging and growth destinations creating the most compelling risk-adjusted opportunities across EMEA.

Where Ideas Meet and Deals Begin

IHIF EMEA is built for transaction-focused engagement. New structured networking formats for 2026 include:

• Meeting of the Minds: Delegate-led topic discussions focused on the issues that matter most to participants.
• Off-Stage Chats: Direct one-to-one access to speakers immediately following their sessions.
• Hosted Parallel Discussions: Expert-facilitated roundtables designed for deep, candid engagement on complex investment challenges.

Over 85 companies will present in the Exhibition Hall, showcasing the latest ventures, technologies and investment propositions redefining hospitality operations and guest experience.

Investing in the Next Generation of Hospitality Leaders

IHIF EMEA’s commitment to the pipeline of future industry leaders is reflected in dedicated content, activations and networking for early-career professionals, including an Under 30 Reception and a live podcast session with SMACK Hospitality.

Registration

IHIF EMEA 2026 offers three pass types: the All Access Pass for full conference and networking access; the Investor Pass for investor-only sessions and curated peer networking; and the Under 30 Pass for emerging professionals. View full options and register at ihifemea.com/registrations.

Leading luxury travel advisor event and reimagined meetings & incentives exchange unite in one global marketplace

NEW YORK, March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Questex’s Ultra Summit, the invitation-only event that unites top-producing luxury travel advisors with the world’s most distinguished travel suppliers, will host its 2026 edition in Cancun, Mexico — marking the first time the event has been held outside the United States. In an industry-first pairing, Ultra Summit will co-locate with the newly rebranded Global Meeting & Incentive Exchange (GMITE), now positioned as a dedicated luxury meetings and incentive event.

The Ultra Summit will be held at the AVA Cancun from September 16-19, while the Global Meeting & Incentive Exchange will be co-located from September 16-18.

The move reflects both the globalization of high-end travel and the continued evolution of Mexico’s Caribbean coast as a world-class luxury destination. Cancun and the greater Quintana Roo region have matured beyond sun and sand, offering exceptional luxury resorts and private villas, sophisticated DMC partners designing bespoke experiences, elevated culinary programming, and rich cultural immersion rooted in Mayan heritage.

Market Growth Underscores Industry Momentum
The global luxury travel market continues to expand at a strong pace, driven by affluent travelers seeking personalized, immersive, and culturally rich experiences. Forecasts show the global luxury travel segment is expected to reach more than $3 trillion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 8.5% from 2026 onward, as high-net-worth clients prioritize custom leisure and experiential journeys. International trips remain dominant, with affluent travelers increasingly exploring cross-border, culturally centered experiences over traditional luxury stays. Luxury meetings and incentives are also experiencing growth as a logical consequence of the overall luxury market growth.

As competition for advisor attention grows, and as the meeting and incentive market demand for luxury experiences grows, both Ultra Summit’s and GMITE’s intentional design remains focused on depth over scale — with curated one-to-one meetings, tailored education, and thought leadership addressing market trends and future growth opportunities. The Ultra Summit co-location with a luxury-focused GMITE further enhances relevance for advisors working across leisure and incentive sectors, acknowledging the blurring lines between high-end leisure travel and luxury corporate experiences.

“2026 marks a milestone for Ultra Summit and our community,” said Alexi Khajavi, Group President, Living & Hospitality, Questex. “By bringing together luxury leisure and luxury meeting and incentive professionals in a global destination like Cancun, we are reflecting the way affluent travelers are engaging with both worlds — and giving advisors and meeting and incentive planners strategic insight and connections that matter.”

The 2026 edition of both events at the AVA Cancun signals a new chapter — one that expands the event’s global footprint while reinforcing its core commitment to quality, access, and community.

Meyer added, “I am proud to have created an environment where respected employees deliver exceptional guest experiences. I believe that leading with kindness and work ethic fosters a positive and inclusive workplace culture and empowers employees to become genuine ambassadors for our brand. I’m also deeply committed to supporting efforts that address food insecurity and other critical social causes in our communities. It is an honor to receive this award, I am grateful for this recognition.”
