The Professional Housekeepers Association (PHA) is set to host its 8th National Housekeepers Convention on 30 May 2026 at the Eros Hotel in New Delhi. This event will gather housekeeping professionals, hospitality leaders, and industry experts to discuss emerging trends and best practices in professional housekeeping.
The convention, themed "Stewards of Standards," aims to highlight the evolving role of housekeeping leaders as custodians of quality, safety, and consistency in hospitality operations. The event will explore how housekeepers are now pivotal in upholding brand promises, ensuring guest trust, and driving sustainable practices.
Building on the success of the 2025 convention in Bangalore, which attracted over 220 delegates, the 2026 edition is expected to draw more than 300 participants. The previous event featured strategic keynote addresses, case study presentations, and solution showcases, emphasising skill development and career pathways for housekeeping professionals.
Jayashree Nagaraj, Founder President and Chairperson of PHA, stated, “Housekeeping has transitioned from a back-of-house function to a strategic pillar in hospitality operations. In 2026, we aim to deepen this conversation with actionable insights and practical solutions tailored to modern operational realities.”
Bharti Singh Kalappa, National Vice President of PHA-North Chapter, added that the New Delhi edition will focus on operational innovation, sustainable practices, and technologies that enhance housekeeping performance.
The convention will spotlight key trends such as AI-assisted workflows, sustainability standards, and digital quality assurance practices, positioning housekeeping leaders as drivers of excellence in modern hospitality.
