In which city was the Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit 2023 organised?

Concept

For event-location questions, identify the official host city from the event organiser or programme rather than inferring it from a city’s general prominence. The venue and opening ceremony provide the decisive evidence.

Application

The Uttar Pradesh government’s official summit material records that the Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit 2023 was held in Lucknow from 10 to 12 February 2023. Therefore, the city asked for in the question is Lucknow.

Contrast

• Gorakhpur is a major city in eastern Uttar Pradesh, but it is not the host city named for this summit.

• Greater Noida is part of the National Capital Region, but it is not the host city named for this summit.

• Lucknow is the capital of Uttar Pradesh and the city identified in the official summit material.

• Varanasi is a major city on the Ganga in eastern Uttar Pradesh, but it is not the host city named for this summit.

Cross-check

The summit dates and the opening programme both point to Lucknow, which independently confirms the location.

Result: The Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit 2023 was organised in Lucknow.
