Mr. Tusharr Vyas is responsible for event curation, while Mr. Mansoor Ali and Mr. Girish Wankhede provide marketing and promotional support.

Mr. Nikhil Jalan added that each attendee can generate a minimum of Rs 2 crore of business, calling the conclave “the most ambitious event in recent history.” Seats are reported to be filling rapidly, and registration, partnership and media enquiries are to be directed to the Exponential Real Estate World secretariat/Entity One ESPL.
Historical Context
Hospitality Connect 2026 follows the platform’s 10th Physical Meet, which was held at the same venue on 28 August 2026, and leverages the proven format of high‑impact physical gatherings to create a focused hospitality corridor where real‑estate capital, design, operations and guest experience intersect.
