We are a famous luxury experience brand, and I was here today to present our hospitality and real estate opportunities. I’m very happy about this experience. I had a chance to present what we do to the Saudi market, which is very important. We think that it is a great opportunity indeed, and I was very happy to be here and to have very interesting meetings. I would like to thank GBB for having me here. Everything was so well organized, and I’m really happy with the experience. I think it was highly professional but also very informal, and we were just very comfortable. We enjoyed it a lot! Thank you!

Hospitality is booming in the region so it is definitely the right time to host such an event and bring together the hospitality leaders to discuss and to shape the future of the industry. It was a very good opportunity for the suppliers to meet the buyers, but at the same time, it was a good opportunity for the buyers to see the new innovations, technologies and products offered by the suppliers. I'm very happy to be a part of this event, and we are looking forward to the next one.

This is my first time here in the Hospitality Innovation Summit and this has been a great experience for me, and I see a lot of opportunities. Hopefully, I get to come here many years to come, and I wish everyone the best of luck and we’ll do great! Thank you!

I’m very happy to be here today at the HIS 2023. It’s an amazing place where we can meet industry leaders.

I am the CEO and founder of RKF Group from France. I appreciate so much the way that it is because I came here for the third time because each time I feel like it's increasing the level, the category and the qualification of the people attending the event, from both sides, buyers and suppliers. The quality of the connection and the organisation itself is really high-end.  And when you know the key people coming here and that's why I congratulate the organizer for bringing these people.

This is my first time at the event. I've very much enjoyed the first day and looking forward to the second day. The Saudi market is by far the most exciting market for our industry. The mega-developments both completed and ongoing are very exciting, and we're very fortunate to be a part of that and attending such a great event. We've been linked very much to very relevant suppliers and ones that we are confident we will be able to do work with moving forward.

I am from Kristina Zanic Consultants. We're one of the leading companies in interior design in the domain of hospitality and luxury residential. We're really honoured and thrilled to be part of this event. It was really insightful and very engaging, especially with the luxury edition. Our one-to-one meetings were really great. We got really insightful meetings with local suppliers as well as regional suppliers, but we were really privileged to be part of that and we're really looking forward to being part of future events as well. Thank you

My name is Khaled Abulayla. I am a senior projects director from Abdulatif Jameel Real Estate Investment Company. We are a company based in Mecca, and we are working in the housing sector, and we are introducing branded residences to the housing market. This is a good opportunity for us. We have already attended the event in Dubai in March, and we are on track, and now we are here in Saudi Arabia. We are receiving great feedback and gaining many partnerships and opportunities. We already have a good experience with the new people, with the new suppliers, and it seems that we will have more projects, new visions, and opportunities in the future. It is a very nice location actually. Thank you.

I would like to thank GBB for this amazing summit, from start to end. It was one of the best conferences I have ever attended, very well organized with the opportunity to meet the best consultants and suppliers in the market. I had a very busy, yet extremely joyful and fruitful 2-day time. Thank you GBB.

So here are three reasons I love the GBB Summit. 1. Fantastic, insightful panel discussions from the industry leaders. 2. I never get time when I'm in Dubai to have meetings with suppliers, with developers, with contractors, and they bring them all to one place, and I can meet them all. So it's a fab ecosystem. 3. I really get to touch and feel some of the products, and get introduced to some new products. So it's a win-win for a designer like me.

It was a fantastic networking event! I have met so many potential partners from the suppliers side as well as potential clients. The GBB team was incredibly supportive and always ready to help. This has truly been the best networking event I have attended, and I can’t wait to see it grow even more on other markets. A big thank you for having us!

As an operator, it's actually quite interesting to be here with a lot of developers, designers, consultants and suppliers. It's getting better and better. So every year we enjoy it more, we have more contacts to meet, and we have new people to get to know. It's an opening opportunity for everyone, especially since this one is for Saudi, which is for us a very important market.

It’s a pleasure to always be back and we look forward to a very very eventful event again this time! The first time was in Barcelona we saw the concept, and we loved it and we made good connections. Our basic target audience are interior designers, developers, and contractors, so it’s a good platform to connect with people from different parts of the world. It will be a very useful event for us. Looking forward to a very exciting event!

We are representing Jaipur rugs and we produce handmade rugs and carpets. We are very happy to be present here at this summit as we find the Saudi Arabian market to be very prosperous, and very exciting. We are confident that we can supply very high-quality products to the right clients in the market. The whole organisation of the event was very good. We found great buyers, and good contacts, and we are confident we can get a lot out of this event! Thank you GBB!

The experience was great. We gained so much knowledge from industry experts and about the country from government representatives. All the scheduled meetings were on time and with genuine customers, making the engagement very productive. I want to thank the GBB team for their exceptional effort. Everything was meticulously organized, from setting up meetings to transportation, lunch arrangements, and more. This level of support made it feel like I had a trusted partner while navigating a new place. I look forward to more opportunities like this to collaborate with GBB and further expand my business. Thank you for creating such a valuable experience.

I'm honestly I'm very pleased with the organization. It was phenomenal and we're very pleased we've connected with lots of key Industry leaders in the construction industry. Even though we've got a big team on the ground, there are always new contacts, and new leads. What I liked about the event this time there was a lot of focus and a lot of stress on luxury, we've seen lots of speakers presentations, lots of manufacturers & lots of Industry leaders speaking about luxury the new trend globally but also in Saudi.

Thank you very much for having us during this session of GBB this year in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. I think it was a fantastic experience for all of us in the team and to meet all of these stakeholders involved in so many fantastic projects in the kingdom. We were very happy to meet these people and to be able to share about our solutions. There are 3 keypoints to remember as we share with most of the people we could talk to; so we are Design, Performance and Sustainability/ Every Novelty coming from Ideal Standard will comply with these 3 criteria and we are looking forward to working even more together with all these fantastic people who we met. Thanks to the GBB Team in Jeddah for this event.
