Why attend NYU IHIF 2025

 

Being in the room has never been more critical

Anyone talking to the market right now knows that macroeconomic uncertainty is having an impact on decision making and deal activity. There’s no hiding from it. As industry leaders look for clarity, savvy hospitality investors are the ones keeping their eye on the long-term prize.

What is certain, is that NYU International Hospitality Investment Forum 2025 (NYU IHIF), will take place this June at the heart of capital markets and the global financial hub, in New York City.

This year’s theme, Engagement Drives Returns, highlights a key truth: in times of uncertainty, those who act decisively and stay engaged will lead the way.
