Twice the size, double the investment opportunities: Future Hospitality Summit checks in to Dubai with biggest, boldest innovations yet – Find out what’s in store!
The Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) returns to Dubai this September in its biggest and boldest form yet. Previously known as AHIC, this influential hospitality and tourism investment event has been transformed and renamed FHS World, highlighting the continuous growth of the region’s hospitality and tourism sector.
Bigger and Better
Taking place from September 30th to October 2nd at Madinat Jumeirah, FHS World will be twice the size of its previous Dubai event. With a more personalised and immersive experience, this summit aims to provide attendees with a unique platform to explore and invest in the future of the hospitality industry.
Jonathan Worsley, Chairman of The Bench, the event’s organizer, expressed excitement about returning to Madinat Jumeirah, where it all started in 2005. He mentioned that the addition of The Arena to the event’s canvas has allowed for a larger summit with over 1,500 expected attendees, including 200 speakers, 300 investors, and 100 sponsors.
New Features and Focus Areas
FHS World will have a strong focus on technology, green construction, and sustainability. The event will feature an ESG Lab dedicated to addressing environmental, social, and governance issues. Additionally, the exhibition area will be expanded to include a mini Expo, showcasing investment opportunities, projects, plans, and partnership prospects.
Alex Lee, Chief Commercial Officer of Jumeirah Group, highlighted their pride in hosting FHS World at Madinat Jumeirah and their role in shaping the future of luxury hospitality.
Engaging Conference Content
FHS World aims to provide attendees with engaging conference content through multiple stages and nine conference tracks. This year, there will be more ways for delegates to connect and interact with the event.
Growth and Expansion
As FHS expands, so does its organizer, The Bench. The company has made new senior appointments and continues to prioritize team member development and promotion from within.

FHS Saudi Arabia will kick off the series of events on April 29th to May 1st at the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah in Riyadh. This will be followed by FHS World from September 30th to October 2nd at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai.
