Hospitality Purchasing Managers’ Forum (HPMF) is a consortium of procurement managers from the hospitality industry representing star hotels, catering companies, stand-alone restaurant chains, and airlines.
HPMF will be celebrating its seventh anniversary at Indana Palace Jodhpur, Rajasthan, from September 14-16, 2017, with a convention and award ceremony as part of the programme. The unique concept of ‘Seven Elements of the Universe’ will seek to bring together procurement managers of different organisations on one platform. The synergy, co-ordinated efforts, and passion with which work is done will lead to the establishment of a better environment for procurement in hospitality. Delegates at the three-day event will experience the grandeur of palatial mansions and be transported back to the regal era that has gone by. They will revel in the soulful music emanating from the desert sands and relax their senses at the majestic property that is a perfect fusion of historical elegance and modern luxury.
