The Hospitality Purchasing Managers’ Forum (HPMF) is proud to announce the upcoming HPMF Convention and Awards 2024, set to take place in Lucknow and Ayodhya Dham from September 26th to 29th, 2024. This prestigious event will play a pivotal role in advancing Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision for Uttar Pradesh, positioning the state as a global hub for ecotourism and hospitality.

As the largest hospitality event in Uttar Pradesh, the convention will bring together participants from 8 countries and 40 Indian cities. It will feature a remarkable assembly of influential figures, including royalty from various Indian regions, owners of international five-star hotel chains, and representatives from over 200 billion-dollar enterprises.

HPMF, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Mumbai, has grown into a global organization with over 6,000 members from the hospitality purchasing community.

The 14th-anniversary celebration will focus on the theme of Ease of Doing Business in Hospitality, with a special emphasis on ecotourism and education. The event is expected to attract significant investors to Uttar Pradesh, contributing to the state's development and aligning with the Chief Minister’s vision of making UP a global leader in ecotourism.

Previous HPMF events in cities such as Cochin, Varanasi, Jodhpur, Bhubaneswar, and Mumbai have been resounding successes. The 2019 event in Cochin, in particular, garnered nationwide attention, drawing over 350 members, press, and prominent corporate figures.

This year’s event in Lucknow and Ayodhya Dham will blend business with a rich cultural experience. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the heritage of Shri Ram's city and the renowned Nawabi “Tehzeeb.” Dr. Nitin Shankar Nagrale, Founder and General Secretary of HPMF, shared, “Participants will embark on a magical journey experiencing the life of Parampurush Shri Ram and the rich heritage of Awadh through cultural shows, cuisine, historical tours, and displays of ancient crafts.” The event will also feature presentations from industry experts, corporate speakers, and B2B meetings with over 40 vendors, fostering valuable discussions and networking opportunities.

A highlight of the event will be the 12th annual Procurement Excellence Awards. These awards, introduced in 2012, are eagerly anticipated by delegates and vendors alike, recognizing excellence in the industry with a spectacular awards ceremony. This year, HPMF will also honor vendors for their significant contributions to the hospitality industry and the procurement community.

The global significance of the event will be further underscored by the presence of 14 world-renowned journalists, who will report on the international impact of hospitality, tourism, and education, bringing global attention to Uttar Pradesh's advancements in these sectors.

In a special tribute, the HPMF Convention will honor 14 esteemed Women Achievers for their extraordinary courage and contributions to India's growth story and this event will serve as a heartfelt tribute to their enduring legacy.

The HPMF Convention and Awards 2024 promises to be a landmark event, fostering Uttar Pradesh’s growth in hospitality, ecotourism, and education, and supporting the UP Chief Minister’s ambitious vision for the state.
