HOP Events Plans Global Expansion to 25 Cities
HOP Events, part of PANTHEON ACR, has unveiled a plan to expand its cultural platform to 25 cities worldwide, aiming to host 250 experiences annually and foster community through shared cultural events.
DUBAI, UAE – HOP Events, the cultural arm of PANTHEON ACR (Art, Culture, Real Estate), has announced a significant global expansion. Over the next 24 months, the company intends to establish a presence in 25 cities, including major hubs like Dubai, London, New York, Doha, and Singapore.
The expansion strategy involves hosting more than 250 experiences annually across 75 venues and arenas, with the goal of engaging over one million attendees each year. Chairman Kalpesh Kinariwala stated that the core ambition is to build a platform that promotes culture, community, and a sense of belonging, rather than focusing solely on event volume.
"Our goal has never been to build an events company," Kinariwala said. "We are building a platform where culture becomes a catalyst for connection. In an increasingly global world, people carry different stories and identities. Shared cultural experiences bring people together, spark dialogue, foster understanding, and promote a genuine sense of belonging."
HOP Events has previously hosted performances by artists such as Lucky Ali, Nancy Ajram, and A.R. Rahman. This expansion aligns with PANTHEON ACR's broader vision of integrating art, culture, and real estate to create thriving communities. The company believes that culture serves as a powerful tool for connection and community building.
The platform aims to curate experiences that resonate beyond individual events, contributing to a richer cultural landscape. HOP Events seeks to create moments that foster shared humanity and strengthen connections among diverse audiences.
