About the GM Leaders Conference

2020 knocked the world off its feet, and the tourism sector fell the hardest. It was a year that emphasised uncertainty, revealed shortcomings, and widened existing gaps. In 2021, the industry fought back by investing heavily in digital transformation and being adaptive to “the new normal”. Thanks to the brainpower and agility from our authorities and the private sector in the region, the industry has benefitted from being amongst the most proactive globally.

In 2022, the industry will have to start playing offense, and not just defence.

Hotel & Catering News Middle East’s GM Leaders Conference 2022 expects more than 200 general managers and hospitality professionals from across the region to Discuss, Debate, and Deliver. A panel of industry experts will address key topics, there will also be an essential keynote speech, unrivalled networking opportunities, and product showcases from top suppliers.
