Kathmandu – The Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association Nepal (HSMAN) has unveiled plans for its flagship yearly gathering, "Meet & Greet 2026 with Fun & Cocktail Dinner," a networking event geared toward strengthening ties across Nepal's hospitality and tourism industry. Now in its fifth year, the Sales Meet will take place on Friday, 21st August 2026, at Wave Hospitality in Basundhara, Kathmandu, and is set to draw hospitality professionals, industry leaders, partners, and stakeholders from across the sector.
Organizers describe the event as a dedicated space for professionals from across the hospitality and tourism trade to come together, compare notes, and build relationships that extend beyond the usual boardroom setting. The program is intended to give hoteliers, marketers, travel operators, and other tourism entrepreneurs room to exchange ideas and discuss practices shaping the sector's direction. HSMAN says the broader goal is to support the continued development of Nepal's hospitality and tourism industry by giving its members more chances to engage with one another professionally.
Guests can expect a program built around informal networking, live entertainment, and a cocktail dinner, rather than a conventional conference format. HSMAN's organizing team says pairing professional conversation with a relaxed social setting tends to make for stronger, longer-lasting industry connections – and this year's edition is being planned with that philosophy at its core. Given the momentum from previous editions, HSMAN expects the 2026 gathering to be among its largest and liveliest yet.
HSMAN has reiterated its broader mission of supporting the hospitality trade through recurring events, networking channels, and initiatives centered on sharing knowledge across the industry. Association representatives noted that gatherings like this help bring stakeholders together around a shared purpose and support the long-term, sustainable growth of Nepal's tourism economy. Organizers say they are optimistic that this year's program will further encourage cooperation and fresh thinking within the sector.
HSMAN has extended an open invitation to hospitality professionals, tourism entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and partner organizations to take part. The evening, organizers say, is meant to give attendees a chance to network, mark the industry's recent achievements, and reinforce professional ties – all in keeping with the association's broader push toward unity and shared growth across Nepal's hospitality landscape.
