The market is still fragmented. Large events are too broad, and niche ones don't have the right scale.

THE MEETING POINT FOR GLOBAL CAPITAL & EUROPEAN OPPORTUNITY
We bring vetted global capital to Europe with rigour and intent.
20 years of relationships. Investors and developers cultivated across the Middle East, Africa through the Future Hospitality Summit franchise.
Named, vetted delegates. Key global capital sources paired with European hosts - travel confirmed and introductions arranged in advance.
A clean entry point. Sharia-compliant living assets - student, senior and branded residences - offer global capital an increasingly attractive route in.
Gulf family offices from Qatar, the UAE & the broader GCC are among the most active. FHS Living is where those conversations begin.
What defines FHS Living
FHS Living is a high-impact initiative designed to funnel capital, especially from the Middle East, towards a carefully selected mix of living assets - addressing the growing "lanyard fatigue" of the European hospitality conferencing market.
Convergence
One platform for the full living asset class. Branded residences, PBSA, senior living, serviced living, co-living, shared ownership, club concepts, mixed-use and hotels - brought together because that is how capital is increasingly being deployed across Europe.
Curation
Pre-scheduled 1:1 introductions between capital allocators, developers and operators, matched on investment criteria and development priorities. Complemented by an Investor Lounge, a live Deal Room, site tours of active Paris projects, and den-style social sessions designed to move conversations into transactions.
Capital
An agenda built around investment decisions. Every session from Underwriting Living Assets to Europe Meets Middle East is structured to support capital deployment, informed by the C-Level decision-makers who will be in the room.
