Your Guide to Cairo’s First-Ever Future Hospitality Summit

From the people dreaming up Egypt’s next big hotel to the investors who could make it happen, Future Hospitality Summit is bringing the industry’s key players to Sofitel Downtown Cairo on November 10th and 11th, 2026. Think live project pitches, industry gossip you don’t want to miss and plenty of people worth having on speed dial. Here’s what’s on the agenda.

Get in the Room Where Decisions Happen

With over 100 industry leaders taking the stage, the panels get into what’s next for Egypt’s hospitality scene, from investment trends to the projects changing the country’s tourism map. It’s a chance to hear directly from the C-suite executives making the calls, rather than piece together the picture from the sidelines.

Put Your Networking Shoes On

More than 300 hospitality leaders are expected to take part in the networking programme, with receptions and dedicated events offering plenty of chances to make introductions. Speed networking sessions are also on the cards, for those who prefer their small talk short and their contact lists growing.

Follow the Money

Big ideas need backing, and the FHS Deal Room gives projects the chance to pitch directly to active investors. Last year’s event facilitated $3.1 billion in deals, putting the spotlight on what could happen when Cairo takes its turn. Day two also brings an exclusive investor breakfast, pairing projects looking for funding with investors on the hunt for their next opportunity.

Get Familiar With Branded Residences

Branded residences are having a moment in Egypt, and FHS Living is giving them the floor. The dedicated forum digs into one of the country’s fastest-growing asset classes, exploring what happens when hospitality and homeownership come together, and why investors are paying attention.

Make Your Meetings Before You Arrive

You don’t have to wait until you reach Cairo to start making connections. FHS’s smart matchmaking technology helps attendees identify relevant investors and potential partners ahead of the summit, giving you a head start on deciding who you want to meet.

Pull Up a Chair at the SceneTraveller Interview Booth

We won’t just be watching from the sidelines. As FHS Egypt’s official Media Partner, SceneTraveller will have an interview booth on the ground, sitting down with the people shaping the industry to get their takes, stories and predictions straight from the source.
