While age is just a number, launched on Jan-12 2015 in India, the BW HOTELIER is now just 8
and we have led our domain for the past few years, for we rejuvenated and reinvented the space with our now
most renowned publication, be it our classic print bimonthly, online, awards, events, and now our web-shows
which dominate and yes, out social media play.
Self-proclamations seldom help, it is your work and following that should do the talking.
The BW HOTELIER Indian hospitality Summit and Indian hospitality Awards or as it is better
known as the IHA has occupied pole position from the year it started and we broke new
ground in 2020 when we hosted the IHA 2020 virtually over 4 days from Aug-31 to Sep-4 2020, with over 200
speakers and 100 awards. This was hitherto never done and this record shall perhaps stand the test of times
and shall never be erased. It shall be a hard act to replicate, even for us.
We zealously follow our credo, ‘at BW HOTELIER the sun never sets’. The bar is meant to
be raised and we shall keep lifting it higher with each outing. There is no room for resting on past
laurels for each day and outing is a new opportunity and challenge and we shall never be found wanting
for we are the BW HOTELIER. We are different.
India’s most awaited BW HOTELIER IHA ’22, the Indian Hospitality Summit and Awards is back with
its sixth edition, this time in the phygital space, in August 2022. The
central theme of the summit is A Story of Resilience.
This Summit will witness Indian Hospitality’s very best minds discuss and debate all that the industry
must grapple with, sort and set a road map to get back and exceed through thought-provoking keynote
sessions and panel discussions. India shall witness the best 100+ minds speak as they shall deliberate
the latest trends that are transforming the way hospitality business is done. Each day will be
different, absorbing and to take a lot away from.
Winners of the BW IHA 2022 will be announced in the evening of the last 2 days of this
phygital gala
