The Hospitality Purchasing Manager’s Forum (HPMF) is poised to celebrate its 14th Anniversary with a grand Convention and Awards event from September 26th to 29th, 2024. This year, the event will take place in the culturally rich cities of Lucknow and Ayodhya Dham, showcasing the theme of a unique blend of business and an immersive journey through the rich and timeless culture of Shri Ram's city and the renowned Nawabi “Tehzeeb”.
The annual Procurement Excellence Awards, which were first introduced in 2012 and are now in their 12th year, will be the highlight of the event. These awards are eagerly anticipated by delegates and industry vendors, symbolizing tremendous honor and prestige. This year, in addition to recognizing procurement excellence, HPMF will also honor vendors to the hospitality industry for their significant contributions.
