The Community
A curated network, built on trust before any transaction.
HI Connect+ is not a conference series. It is a meticulously curated network of hospitality investment principals, convened for insight, discretion, and the relationships that outlast a single deal.
The vision
A world where every hospitality investor invests alongside people they trust.
The mission
We bring hospitality owners, investors, and ecosystem enablers into one trusted room — curating virtual and in-person gatherings where relationships turn into co-investing clubs and syndicates.
Who is in the room
One circle, drawn from across the capital and the craft of hospitality investment.
Every member is vetted for alignment, discretion, and a genuine contribution to the room.
What we look for
Membership is measured by contribution, not volume.
A clear mandate to invest, partner, or transact in hospitality investment.
Authority, or material influence over decisions.
A reputation as a trusted, discreet, long-term partner.
A perspective that elevates the thinking of the room.
A commitment to being present, before and after.
The experience
Considered in every detail, so you can focus on the people.
Conversations over presentations
No pitches from a stage. Candid exchange between peers, under the confidence real talk requires.
Curated intimacy
Small rooms and deliberate introductions. Every seat is considered, and every seat has a reason.
A hospitality investment intelligence exchange
Real-time, candid feedback from a community that has actually deployed capital and run the assets.
A considered cadence
Monthly closed-door roundtables, and a handful of in-person gatherings worth travelling for.
Who is behind it
Built by the people who built the room the industry meets in.
HI Connect+ is led by a team that has spent years convening the most senior names in hospitality investment across Asia Pacific. We have watched, from the inside, why the large gatherings so rarely turn into partnerships.
This is our answer. A smaller, quieter, more deliberate room, curated by people who know precisely who belongs in it.
Most of the industry meets at large events: hundreds of name tags, a stage, and very few of the conversations that lead anywhere. Leia and Zoe built the opposite together — closed-door rooms, a handful of the right people, and enough trust for real deal flow. Fit over headcount; every introduction deliberate, every conversation intentional.
Zoe
Zoe produces the HI Connect+ experience, drawing on a decade of B2B conferences across APAC and EMEA. She holds the standard that turns a gathering into a room people travel for.
Leia
Leia curates the HI Connect+ network — matching allocators, owners, operators and principals with the trust, discretion and intent that real partnerships require. She built the room the industry was missing.
