Ahmedabad, 29 August 2026: Gujarat’s hospitality capital is gearing up to welcome India’s most comprehensive hospitality and foodservice showcase — the World of Hospitality Expo (WOHXpo) Ahmedabad 2026, scheduled from September 1 to 3, 2026 at the Gujarat University Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Organised by Incredible Fairs and Media Pvt. Ltd. (IFMPL), the three-day event will unite leading brands, hotel and restaurant owners/operators, chefs, caterers, consultants, architects and foodservice professionals under one roof to explore the latest products, technology and innovations shaping the HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant and Catering) sector, where the visitor registration is free to explore the opportunities.
Satish Dange, Director – Operations, World of Hospitality Expo, said, “Every element of WOHXpo Ahmedabad 2026 has been curated to deliver tangible business value — from supplier–buyer meetings to live demos and interactive sessions. We’re building an environment where collaboration translates directly into growth for exhibitors and visitors alike.”
With Gujarat’s hospitality and tourism ecosystem expanding rapidly — driven by new hotel signings, destination development, and a thriving restaurant culture — WOHXpo Ahmedabad 2026 aims to create a dynamic platform for businesses to connect, discover, learn and grow.
Rajan Nair, Director – Business Development, World of Hospitality Expo, explained, “Gujarat’s hospitality market is entering a high-growth phase, and WOHXpo Ahmedabad 2026 serves as a catalyst for that momentum. By connecting investors, operators, and innovators, we’re enabling partnerships that will shape the next decade of hospitality development in the region.”
More than 150 exhibitors and brands in the hospitality space will showcase solutions across kitchen equipment, food and beverages, bakery and confectionery, hotelware, furniture, technology, cleaning and hygiene, refrigeration and interiors.
Dattaram Kandalkar, Director – Business Development, World of Hospitality Expo, added, “We will feature some interesting knowledge sessions and panel discussions, and are organising a bed-making competition for young housekeeping professionals, culinary competition (Incredible Chef Challenge – Ahmedabad edition) and networking activities which will offer insights into emerging opportunities and challenges in hospitality operations, technology adoption and tourism growth.”
Prateek Sahay, Director – Marketing, World of Hospitality Expo, said, “WOHXpo Ahmedabad 2026 is not just an exhibition; it’s a celebration of Gujarat’s hospitality potential. Our goal is to spotlight how innovation, design and service excellence are redefining the HoReCa landscape, making Gujarat a magnet for global hospitality brands.”
The event is expected to draw visitors from Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot and GIFT City, along with professionals from neighbouring states, reinforcing Gujarat’s position as a rising hospitality hub.
