Organizers of the Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific (HICAP) are pleased to announce the brand’s portfolio of events for 2024, including the return of HICAP UPDATE.
HICAP will complete its 2023 events with HICAP on 23-35 October 2023. The 2024 events will kick off with the return of HICAP UPDATE on 13-14 March 2024 at the Regent Hong Kong, followed by HICAP ANZ on 28-30 August 2024 at the Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour in Australia, and concluding with the 34th annual HICAP on 16-18 October 2024 at the Fairmont Singapore & Swissotel The Stamford in Singapore.
“We’re delighted to announce the reintroduction of the HICAP brand in Hong Kong as the industry continues to move on from the global pandemic and returns to a more business-as-usual approach,” said Jeff Higley, President of The BHN Group. “Returning to the historical home of HICAP at the beautiful newly launched Regent Hong Kong presents a unique opportunity for the hotel-investment community to embrace its roots. The combination of the announcement of the 2024 dates for HICAP UPDATE in Hong Kong, HICAP in Singapore and HICAP ANZ in Sydney epitomizes the networking and deal-making opportunities as well as the overall impact of a brand with such a strong and respected history throughout the region.”
The reintroduction of HICAP UPDATE will round out the HICAP portfolio of events. HICAP UPDATE 2024 will be the 11th edition of the event and will distinguish itself programmatically by doing what it does best — focusing on key regional markets and keeping delegates in touch with the latest development and investment opportunities and challenges in a variety of the region’s hot markets. The two-day conference will feature a prestigious lineup of speakers and sessions focusing on the current issues facing the industry, as well as the great networking opportunities HICAP is known for.
“With the historic, meaningful ties between HICAP and Hong Kong, it’s great to see the brand returning to the location where so many hotel deals have been hatched and completed over the years,” said Robert Hecker, Managing Director of Pacific Asia at Horwath HTL and a founding partner of HICAP. “The footprint of the HICAP portfolio through the Asia Pacific region is a conduit for deals, as Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney are hotel investment hubs that provide access to so many face-to-face interactions and transactions activity and Horwath HTL is proud to provide its support.”
Nihat Ercan, CEO APAC at JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group, added: “It’s great to see the HICAP brand returning to Hong Kong as it further demonstrates the ever-improving health of the hotel-investment space. JLL’s long-time commitment to reaching all corners of the Asia Pacific region is further enhanced by HICAP UPDATE’s commitment to Hong Kong and coupled with the HICAP events in Singapore and Sydney, we’re pleased with what it indicates about the prospects for the overall transactions market.” JLL is a Founder Patron of HICAP UPDATE.
